2021 Conseillante

La Conseillante, the history of a line of vignerons While the name La Conseillante first appeared 300 years ago, its acquisition by  the Nicolas Family in 1871 marked a turning-point in the history history of this property. Since 2003, Bertrand and Jean-Valmy Nicolas, the fifth generation, have been presiding over the destiny of La Conseillante with the same policy of excellence initiated by their ancestors. Surrounded by an attentive team led by Marielle Cazaux, they strive to make the right decisions to gain ever more purity and precision while preserving the identity of La Conseillante wine with its hallmark of finesse, balance and suave velvety texture. La Conseillante has its own unique feature, and that is its position. Its soils are not only on the Pomerol plateau but also cross over into the Saint-Emilion appellation. Its vineyard covers 12 hectares (nearly 30 acres) and different nuances of soil-type (clay soils to the north-east and gravel soils to the south-west). 2021, the 150th vintage of the Nicolas family 2021 represents the 150th vintage of the Nicolas family at the head of the estate. To celebrate this event, the Nicolas family offers a unique engraved bottle as well as a specific packaging in cases created for the occasion. "This vintage is very important for our family, as much for what it symbolises, demonstrating our deep roots and attachment to this fine terroir, as for the wine’s remarkable quality in what was an uneven vintage." Jean-Valmy Nicolas et Marielle Cazaux Tasting Note A fruity, creamy and quite concentrated wine. 2021 is a vintage with texture, fruit character and a delicate tannic mouth-feel. It has freshness, juiciness and an elegant, easy-to-digest character which is not dissimilar to the 2012 vintage, or even the 2016 in certain respects at La Conseillante. The balance between alcoholic degree (around 13°) and the good level of acidity provides this vintage with very good ageing capacity, which may come as a surprise to some tasters. To be noted, La Conseillante is one of Antonio Galloni's favorite wine in this vintage: "The 2021 La Conseillante is so impressive"
