La Conseillante 2015 is a distinctive Bordeaux blend, consisting of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. The wine underwent 18 months of maturation in French oak, with approximately 70% of the barrels being new. On the nose, it reveals understated notes of damp earth, dark fruits and subtle floral hints. The palate is medium to full-bodied, showcasing a structured profile with a blend of plums, tobacco and spices. This vintage exemplifies the estate`s dedication to traditional winemaking, a practice upheld since its establishment in 1735.
