Dark ruby garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, subtle edge brightening. Delicate floral nuances of candied violets, a hint of blackberries and sour cherries, some cloves, a hint of sour cherries and mandarin zest. Juicy, highly elegant, delicate extract sweetness, silky tannins, finesse-rich acidity, harmonious and already so well developed that one would like to start enjoying it immediately, great length, finesse and sure maturity potential. Fascinating. - 100 Points - Peter Moser

For the first time, Cabernet Sauvignon makes up 3% of the blend. The bouquet is undeniably fresh, but this freshness isn't solely attributable to the Cabernet Sauvignon. It's the overall freshness that emerges as a recurring theme of the vintage. Beyond the floral notes, the bouquet reveals hints of black cherry and blackberry, along with a classic touch of cocoa bean. Smooth on the palate, the wine perfectly reflects the energy promised by the bouquet. It's driven by creamy tannins and an incisive structure that celebrates its character while reinforcing its ambitions. This is a powerful, luminous, and precise La Conseillante, guided by its drive and the dedication of an entire team, a testament to the extensive work carried out over the past ten years. A well-deserved reward, indeed! The finish is marked by a renewed burst of fruit, freshness, and tension. The aging process will definitively guarantee the excellence of this wine. 2032-2065 - 98 to 100 Points - Yves Beck

Tasting Château La Conseillante 2025 inevitably brings to mind the 2022 vintage. Both shaped by extreme heat and dryness, yet each shows an unexpected vibrancy. Thanks to two timely rainfalls, 26 mm on August 20 and 22 mm on August 29, 2025 appears more juicy and agile than 2022, with acidity that cuts through more precisely. Bayberry and black cherry burst one after another on the palate, releasing abundant juice. Notes of licorice, Sichuan pepper, and star anise are interwoven throughout, adding layers of complexity. Then comes the violet, like a lace skirt catching the light, rising and drifting with effortless grace. Even as it expresses such grace and finesse, Château La Conseillante retains a firm structural core beneath the surface, a clear reflection of its gravelly-clay plateau terroir and the defining backbone of top Bordeaux. This is exactly the Pomerol I had hoped to find in 2025. The moment you meet it, you find yourself completely under its spell. - 98 to 100 Points - Alexandre Ma

(Pomerol; 87% Merlot; 10% Cabernet Franc; 3% Cabernet Sauvignon; a final yield of 30 hl/ha; pH 3.66; 13.5% alcohol; tasted with Marielle Cazeaux at La Conseillante). Immediately we are the realm of greatness. We have archetypal La Conseillante florality. This is very beautiful - with peony and violet, a little lily of the valley and a little rose petal. The floral notes really wrap themselves around the blueberries drawing out the glorious cedary notes. Haunting in its beauty. Calming. Intimate. I love the parfumier's essences of violets and rose petals reinfocing those first floral notes as the wine starts to inhale and relax in the glass. The is the first year of the integration of the Cabernet Sauvignon into the final blend and it reinforces the impression of the deeo, dark core. Succulent, sumptuous, so gracious and very layered - some way between silk and cashmere. This has a lovely ample frame and is the most bourgignon of the grand plateau Pomerols. Complete, brilliantly poised and so juicy and fresh. A wine of an incredible harmony. I've not tasted a better La Conseillante and I honestly didn't expect to be writing that in this vintage. - 98 to 100 Points - Colin Hay

The 2025 La Conseillante is another brilliant wine in the making for this Pomerol reference point. Wafting from the glass with aromas of ripe mulberries and blackberries mingled with hints of violets and truffle, it's medium- to full-bodied, deep and unctuous, with lively acids, ultra-refined tannins and a long, floral finish. It's a blend of 87% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon (from new plantings that already make it into the blend) that attained 13.5% alcohol. Fermentations were capped at 26 degrees Celsius, the coolest ever, to extract selectively, and the entire production is maturing in barriques this year. - 97 to 100 Points - William Kelley
