What to Expect

Arguably the most renowned wines on earth, the classed growths of Bordeaux continue to epitomize the power and complexity Bordeaux blends are capable of. While most wines here are based on Cabernet Sauvignon, both Merlot and Cabernet Franc play important roles in adding layered complexity to the finished wines, and allow winemakers in each commune within the region to use the blend that is best suited to their unique combination of soil and meso-climate. The most famous communes each have their own classic traits with St. Estephe giving full, if rustic wines, from the heavy clay soils, to Paulliac's elegant balance of ripe fruits, minerality and structure to St. Julien's rich blackberry core and supple feel. Moving to the South of the region brings one to Margaux, with its notes of flowers and berries draped over a feminine frame, and then to the Graves region with wines redolent of tobacco, gravel and smoke. To the East lies the famous appellations of St. Emillion, with its wonderfully ripe Cabernet Franc, and Pomerol where Merlot rules the roost and produces deep, plush wines of uncommon refinement.

Reviews

Jancis
Robinson

Rating: 16/20 - As reviewed by Jancis Robinson Slight whiff of swimming pool. Sweet and smooth. Curranty. Dense. Lots of acidity. Not balanced. A bit light on stuffing.

Jancis
Robinson

Rating: 17/20 - As reviewed by Jancis Robinson Dense with concentration. Gives the impression of possible hidden depths - certainly no specious charm. This is quite serious and dry. Needs lots of time. Has lots of structure. I think it will make rewarding old bones.

Beautiful wine with blackberry, chocolate and floral aromas. Medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and a pretty finish. Refined and silky. Not a big Conseillante, but all in finesse and texture. I like it as much as the 2000. Best after 2006. 4,... Wine Spectator. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2001 Conseillante, La 1500ml
