2021 Château la Conseillante, Pomerol, Bordeaux

Description

Merlot 85%, Cabernet Franc 15%.

This was our first detailed tasting, and it set the standard for the whole week. Marielle Cazaux believes that the best 2021s came from estates with top terroir, a good team and the willingness to work hard; this held true all week. This is the estate’s 150th vintage; it’s outstanding. Marielle added this wasn’t an easy vintage, so the success comes with a sense of achievement. The wine is superbly floral with a hint of mint and cocoa. The tannins are seamless, the finish tight with a lick of minerality.

Pomerol

Pomerol

With 150 or so producers and roughly 740 hectares of vineyards, the smallest of Bordeaux's major appellations is home to myriad bijou domaines – many making little more than 1,000 cases per annum. If the topography and architecture of Pomerol are typical, the style of its wines is anything but. The best vineyards are planted on a seam of rich clay extending across the raised plateau of Pomerol from the boundary of St Emilion.
