Chateau la Conseillante, Pomerol, 2007
La Conseillante is Pomerol's elegance specialist — the floral, lifted, perfumed counterpoint to the appellation's more massive offerings, with neighbors that include Cheval Blanc and L'Évangile. The Nicolas family has owned it since 1871, making this one of Pomerol's longest continuous tenures. 2007 was a difficult Bordeaux vintage overall, but Pomerol fared best of the Right Bank that year — and La Conseillante, with its rigorous selection and inherent house finesse, fashioned a wine that has aged with real grace. Eighteen years on, the 2007 is in its drinking window: dried plum and red cherry, that signature violet lift, sweet tobacco, truffle, mocha, the silken Merlot-led Pomerol texture fully resolved. Not the blockbuster of a great vintage, but a poised, complete bottle from one of the appellation's most refined addresses.
