150th Anniversary Edition
- 2021 La Conseillante
As one of the best Pomerol wines sought after by collectors, La Conseillante is a consistent top performer throughout the ebbs and flows of Bordeaux. In a great year, it is superb. In an average year, its consistency is stunning: dense, succulent, and seductive.

Throughout the year, the team worked consistently in the vineyard and the cellars, making decisions to craft a wine that demonstrated their deep roots and attachment to their terroir.
