The 2021 La Conseillante was picked the latest in memory, from September 28 until October
8, at 39hL/ha, and matured in 70% new oak. It comes in at 13.3% alcohol and a pH of 3.6. The
beautifully defined bouquet offers blackberry, bilberry and light iris petal scents, just a
suggestion of black truffle coming though with time. The harmonious palate is mediumbodied with fine tannins and lightly spiced red fruit. There is a very subtle ferrous note, lovely
depth and grip on the finish, and a persistent aftertaste. A beautiful La Conseillante courtesy
