The 2008 La Conseillante is a sophisticated and harmonious Right Bank Bordeaux from Pomerol. It presents an aromatic profile of red berries, plums, violets and truffle, complemented by notes of spice and a subtle minerality. On the palate, it is elegant and supple, with fine-grained tannins and a fresh acidity that contributes to a graceful, persistent finish. La Conseillante`s vineyard holdings span 12 hectares in Pomerol, bordering Cheval Blanc and L`Évangile.
