BACKGROUND
Château La Conseillante is one of the most prestigious estates in Pomerol, Bordeaux, owned by the Nicolas family since 1871. The estate is renowned for its elegant, perfumed, and silky wines, often characterized by notes of violets and truffles. 'Duo de Conseillante' is the estate's second wine, introduced in 2007. Crafted with the same care as the Grand Vin but sourced from younger vines, it offers a more approachable, fruit-forward expression of the La Conseillante terroir, blending Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
