Since 1871, the Nicolas family has been at the helm of Chateau La Conseillante. The family’s shared goal has always been to preserve this unique legacy and pass it down to the next generation.
The name "La Conseillante" has a rich history dating back 300 years. It all began when the influential Libourne merchant Catherine Conseillan purchased the estate and gave it the feminine version of her last name: La Conseillante. Known as the "Iron Lady," Catherine undertook a program of renovation and expansion, laying the foundation for the exceptional vineyard we know today.
In 1871, the estate found its way into the hands of the Nicolas family when Louis Nicolas and Nicolas Nicolas acquired it. Louis Nicolas, with his visionary approach, revitalized La Conseillante both technically and commercially. Since 2003, Bertrand and Jean-Valmy Nicolas, representing the fifth generation, have embraced eco-responsibility and sustainable practices, ensuring that La Conseillante's legacy continues to flourish.
Since 2016, La Conseillante has committed to reducing its environmental impact. The estate has achieved ISO 14001 and HVE 3 certification for its environmentally responsible practices.
La Conseillante comprises sixteen vineyard plots, some dating back to 1958. Four soil types have been identified within this mosaic of vines. Expertise has been a cornerstone at La Conseillante, with renowned figures like Professors Emile Peynaud, Pascal Ribereau-Gayon, Gilles Pauquet, Jean-Claude Berrouet, and native son Michel Rolland contributing their knowledge over the years.
2020 was an outstanding year for Bordeaux. Vinous Media blessed this year with a 98-point review and said, "Two thousand-twenty is an exceptional vintage for Bordeaux, certainly the best in the 2018-2020 trilogy. Quality is exceptionally high among the great wines of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol."
