{"product_id":"2025-chateau-la-conseillante-pomerol","title":"2025, Château La Conseillante, POMEROL","description":"\u003cp\u003eFabulously situated alongside \u003cstrong\u003eCheval Blanc and L'Evangile\u003c\/strong\u003e, this property has a long track record of making outstanding Pomerol that is never forced or over-extracted. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 blend is 87% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 \u003cstrong\u003eLa Conseillante is another brilliant wine\u003c\/strong\u003e in the making for this Pomerol reference point. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97-100\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eWilliam Kelley, Wine Advocate.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 La Conseillante has a \u003cstrong\u003every pure nose\u003c\/strong\u003e with black cherries, blueberry and wild strawberry fruit, just a little Burgundy-like in style. A hint of orange rind loiters in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, a silver thread of acidity, quite linear and strict on the entry, gentle grip with a dash of black pepper towards the finish. A second glass that happened to have been opened for an hour \u003cstrong\u003erevealed some of its opulence that will surely be enhanced\u003c\/strong\u003e during the élevage.

Fragrant aromas on the nose with floral aspects, violets, some savoury earthy notes, black chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon spice, blood orange and iron. Smooth with such vibrant energy straight away – quite tight tannins still, firm and streamlined but really delicate and precise. Really nuanced in flavour. It would have been easy to make a more muscular wine but this is \u003cstrong\u003esleek and so defined\u003c\/strong\u003e. The team applied zinc oxide as sunscreen and used mulching to protect soil humidity. First time including Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\u003c\/strong\u003e Georgina Hindle, Decanter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Maude Fine Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57041881923744,"sku":"BX25-CONS","price":0.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/1889\/8336\/files\/1927_Image1_178dcf96-6d16-4510-ad09-a4871819be78.jpg?v=1779314454","url":"https:\/\/www.pmfw.co.nz\/products\/2025-chateau-la-conseillante-pomerol","provider":"Peter Maude Fine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
