Château La Conseillante

The Nicolas family have owned Chateau La Conseillante since 1871, with winemaking overseen by Marielle Cazaux since 2015. 12.3ha are planted in almost one single block, unusual for anywhere in Bordeaux, and plantings of Cabernets Franc and Sauvignon are increasing to upwards of 30%. 18 parcels are managed in a cellar that was renovated in 2012. Their second wine, Duo de Conseillante, is made in tiny quantities each year since 2007. The trademarks of La Conseillante, apart from their iconic purple labels, are purity, concentration and beautiful velvet textures.
