Critics Scores
Wine Enthusiast
A powerfully juicy wine, this has weight as well as elegant sophistication. Generous layers of rich Merlot offer dark black-fruit flavors as well as a jammy balance for the acidity. Drink from 2024.
James Suckling
A young red with sweet fruit and very fine tannins, which have a creamy and almost salty sensation. Medium to full body. Blackberries, dark chocolate and bark. Some black tea, too. It shows an energy and tension. The creamy tannins give polish and beauty. Better after 2023.
Wine Spectator
A tobacco leaf accent pierces the large core of raspberry, plum and blackberry compote flavors, injecting energy as this moves along, pulling juniper, bramble and black tea notes through the finish. Shows lots of detail and energy on the finish. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2022 through 2038.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2017 La Conseillante displays a deep garnet-purple color and simply sings of crushed blueberries, mulberries and ripe plums with suggestions of violets, chocolate box, rose hip tea and a waft of menthol. The palate is medium-bodied with impressive richness at this elegant weight coupled with vivacity and supported by plush, velvety tannins, finishing with great length and energy. This is an arrestingly beautiful expression of this vintage!
Jeb Dunnuck
A wine compared to the 2001 by winemaker Marielle Cazaux and showing beautifully both from barrel and now bottle, the 2017 Chateau La Conseillante is a classic, elegant wine from this estate that does everything right. Revealing a deep purple hue as well as terrific notes of creme de cassis, black cherries, crushed violets, camphor, and a hint of licorice, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a bright spine of acidity, silky tannins, and a balanced, incredibly classic style. Give this complex, complete Pomerol 5-7 years of bottle age and enjoy over the following two decades. Tasted twice. The blend is 85 Merlot and 15 Cabernet Franc and comes from the estate’s 11.8-hectare vineyard of mostly gravelly clay soils (there’s some sand as well as iron), and the aging spans 16 months in 70 new French oak.
Tim Atkin
Warm spices and deep blue fruit aromas. Some violet and plum. Very inviting. Rounded and sumptuous, with no harsh edges and very fine acidity. Beautifully textured and classy. What a star. Very long spicy finish.
Decanter
This stands out from the line up - the complexity on the nose is hugely enticing, with chocolate, liquorice bud, slate and sweet crushed blackberry puree with tons of juice and edges of violet. This is a great wine and one of the few that really does rise above the vintage and would go toe-to-toe with its sibling years on either side. It lifts the foot off the pedal more quickly than the 2016 or 2018 for sure, but it's a very accomplished and enjoyable wine. 70 new oak.
