Located in the heart of Pomerol, on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, Château La Conseillante has a reputation for consistently excellent, ageworthy wines. Though terroir surely has something to do with it, so do its proprietors—the Nicolas family—who have been deftly tending its vines for more than a century. No stranger to acclaim, the Château’s Grand Vin is the recipient of a steady flow of awards, including many for this extraordinary 2018 release (see below).

A classic, barrel-aged, Merlot-dominant blend, it becomes more and more elegant the longer it catches air, with a plush texture that’s lifted perfectly by the inclusion of Cabernet Franc. Or as Antonio Galloni says for Vinous, “the 2018 is a Pomerol of tremendous precision. It is, in a word: dynamite.”

Extremely limited. First come, first served.
