Vinous – Neil Martin – 96-98/100
The 2023 La Conseillante was picked from September 7, with the final
Cabernet Franc brought in on October 2 at 43hL/ha. There were just six
days of picking over 3.5 weeks. Matured in 70% new oak, it has a very
well-defined bouquet with black cherries, wild strawberries, touches of
violet and a hint of crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with a
captivating, edgy opening. Just slightly granular in texture thanks to the
tannin structure, it’s very harmonious and poised, with a sophisticated,
mineral-driven finish. This is an exceptional La Conseillante from
Marielle Cazaux and her team. It will rank alongside the 2022 even if it
is very different stylistically.

Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 95-97/100
The 2023 La Conseillante is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Medium
in body and silky, with exceptional balance, the 2023 impresses from
start to finish. Crushed flowers, lavender, spice, mocha and tobacco
are some of the many nuances that emerge over time. More than
anything else, the 2023 impresses with its balance and total class. It’s a
wine that marries the elegance of La Conseillante with a bit more midpalate resonance and sustain through the finish than some recent
vintages. Yields were 43 hectoliters per hectare. Élevage consists of
70% new oak, 27% used barrels and 3% amphora. Tasted two times.
