Chateau La Conseillante is located on the highest part of the Pomerol plateau. The soil has a large concentration of clay in the northern part, bordering of Petrus, and clay-gravel soil in the southern part, bordering on Chateau Cheval Blanc. Five generations of the Nicolas family have worked hard to maintain La Conseillante's excellent reputation over the past 126 years. Care is taken to keep yields low and produce perfectly ripe grapes, which are hand picked. Chateau La Conseillante is aged in 100% new oak barrels in great vintages. La Conseillante is full, round, velvety and creamy with all the voluptuous softness of Merlot combined with the finesse of Cabernet Franc, which also contributes a fruity bouquet with hints of truffle. A perfect balance between elegance and power is the hallmark of La Conseillante. Clay-gravel on iron-oxide rich subsoil. "There is round, lush, ripe fruit medium body, exceptional elegance and purity, and a soft, velvety-textured finish. Think of it as liquid charm and silk. Anticipated maturity, 2000-2014."

Bodega Terrazas de los Andes CHEVAL DES ANDES Mendoza Argentina
Description: A joint venture between ChateauCheval Blanc and Terrazas de los Andes, this wine is a groundbreaking blend of legendary, Bordeaux First Growth winemaking expertise with the very best terroir in Argentina, resulting in an elegant New World tribute to the historic art of ssemblage. Cheval des Andes is made according to the traditional methods used since the middle of the 19th century. The spirited Argentine thoroughbred has taken from Cheval Blanc its expertise in blending and its painstaking, almost craftsman-like approach. Carefully controlled yields, no use of herbicides, bunch thinning, extreme care in the working of the soil, and so on. A host of tiny gestures that are repeated over and again throughout the year and which are the traditional hallmark of the great Bordeaux wine estates. Produced from vines ageing up to 75 years and harvested by hand this wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Aged in new French oak barrels between 15 to 18 months the wine is racked every three months and when ready fined with egg whites. This wine is a deep intense ruby-red colour almost black in middle with mauve glints on the rim. The Aroma is powerful, showing warm notes of tobacco, red berry fruit macerated in brandy, cherry stones, and home-made jam, against a backdrop of oaky, slightly spicy aromas of cedar-wood, tobacco and bay leaves. The attack on the palate is full, rich and warm with lots of freshness coming through, while sweet, ripe tannins mingle harmoniously with the oak beautifully rounded off by a full, long finish.
