2005 Château la Conseillante, Pomerol, Bordeaux

Description

This is an exceptional Conseillante - it would be churlish to describe it as anything other than their best ever. It is velvety and refined and in style, somewhere between Vieux Château Certan and Troplong Mondot, combining the elegance of the former with the exuberance of the latter. The finesse of the tannins combined with power and precision, texture and terroir make this reminiscent of a Grand Cru Burgundy combined with all the best bits of Pomerol. This is set to be one of the must-haves of the vintage - Make sure you pick up a case if you can!

About this wine

Merlot

The most widely planted grape in Bordeaux and a grape that has been on a relentless expansion drive throughout the world in the last decade. Merlot is adaptable to most soils and is relatively simple to cultivate. It is a vigorous naturally high yielding grape that requires savage pruning - over-cropped Merlot-based wines are dilute and bland. It is also vital to pick at optimum ripeness as Merlot can quickly lose its varietal characteristics if harvested overripe.
