2011 Ch. la Conseillante, Pomerol

Ch. la Conseillante, Pomerol
I love this wine, and if I had listened to my parents, studied and got a ‘proper’ job I might possibly have been able to afford to drink it! OK, let’s pretend I didn’t do the job that I love for a moment and look at this little tinker. There are very few wines in 2011 that are sexy, Ch. la Conseillante really is. It has curves, elegance, vibrancy and laser like cool precision that makes it one of the superstars of the vintage.

When we cram ourselves back into the minibus between Châteaux tastings we always have a few minutes to chew things over, comparing and contrasting our notes. When we left Ch. la Conseillante there was a revered silence for a few minutes and one of my colleagues said “Scarlett Johanssen”. “Close”, I corrected “Salma”. What followed was a collective, sage like nodding of agreement from the bus and we moved on. Superb this year, as it is indeed most.

Ch. la Conseillante, Pomerol
Gentle extraction (advised by new consultant, ex-JP Moueix winemaker Jean-Claude Berrouet). Accent on the fruit. Less volume than 2009 and 2010 but good length and balance.

Ch. la Conseillante, Pomerol
Made in the elegant, finesse-filled Bordeaux style, the 2011 La Conseillante displays a deep ruby/purple color along with hints of acacia blossoms intermixed with sweet cherry and mulberry fruit backed up by subtle toasty oak. Attractive on the attack and medium-bodied with good acidity, the 2011 is not a blockbuster such as we saw in 2009 and 2010, but it may resemble the estate’s top-flight 1981 (a so-so year in which La Conseillante produced a delicious wine). It will provide early drinking and should last for 10-12 years.

Ch. la Conseillante, Pomerol
Shows the elegant, caressing fruit of the vintage, with supple cassis, blackberry and cherry compote notes, while harnessing the lively acidity and burying it nicely in toast- and black tea-infused wood. Features a classy, silky finish.
