Sale price $220.00 | In Stock Ships from our French cellar (Delivery in 4-10 days) | Ready to Drink
Ripe and plush, the 2003 vintage brings forth dark cherry, fig, mocha, and baking spice in a warm, velvety profile. Despite the heat of the year, the wine maintains balance and aromatic lift. A bold and inviting Pomerol with a soft, generous finish.

They harvested the 2003 very early here, around 1 September, and were finished by the 15th. This has lovely spice with good depth, and has absolutely held on, showing some attractive smoked, roasted hazelnut notes. It's far fresher than you'd expect from such a hot vintage in a wine that is largely Merlot - the early harvest helped. It has good balance, not overpowered by oak. A very nice surprise, ready to be enjoyed but it's not quitting yet. This is the year Jean-Michel Laporte joined as the estate's new director.

Very pretty aromas of crushed berry, sandalwood and raspberry jam. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins. Balanced and refined. Well done.

This is round, soft, and fruity. An attractive plum and berry character make this wine easy and friendly right now. It still has nice freshness and subtlety, with some floral undertones. I can’t think of a reason to wait any longer on this.

Pomerol's Opulent Triumph

The 2018 growing season at Château La Conseillante began with a rainy spring, followed by a hot, dry summer that extended into harvest. The estate's clay-gravel soils provided crucial water reserves during the drought, while meticulous canopy management protected the grapes from sunburn. Harvest occurred from September 19th to October 4th, resulting in perfectly ripe grapes that produced a wine of exceptional richness and freshness, showcasing the unique terroir of La Conseillante.
