Château La Conseillante 2000 is a red wine from the Pomerol appellation in Bordeaux. This jeroboam showcases a wine of incredible silkiness and aromatic finesse, blended primarily from Merlot with a significant portion of Cabernet Franc. The 2000 vintage is a benchmark for the estate, displaying a deep ruby-purple colour and a bouquet of kirsch, incense and Asian spice. It is a medium to full-bodied red that balances power with a characteristic lacy elegance. The large format ensures a slow and graceful evolution, preserving the wine’s vibrant red fruit and floral complexity for decades to come, reflecting the clay and gravel soils of eastern Pomerol.
