Château La Conseillante 01

Truly sumptuous and substantial, with very strong character for a merlot, it boasts aromatic power: exuberant, ripe dark berries, licorice, spice bread and a light infusion of oak. Elegance and harmony share the palate with notable structure – very well put together. It evolves in the mouth with complexity, demonstrating a subtle bitterness, acidity, and compliant tannic quality. It develops in an eloquent, noble way that satiates the palate with utter refinement.

80% merlot, 20% cabernet franc.
Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, 80% new.
Bottled in May 2003.
