Château La Conseillante is one of the finest producers in Pomerol and can trace its history back to 1735. It has been in the Nicolas family since 1871. The property’s 13 hectares of vineyards lie on a plateau in eastern Pomerol bordering Saint-Émilion with neighbouring vineyards belonging to L`Evangile, Petit-Village, Vieux Château-Certan and Cheval Blanc. Château La Conseillante’s motto used to be ‘faire peu, mais faire bon’ – ‘do little, but do it well’, which Decanter notes, ‘is something that all the great estates of Pomerol seem to have mastered.’
