2019 Château Les Hauts-Conseillants

The 2019 Hauts-Conseillants is an attractive wine to drink now and over the next few years. Sweet floral and spice notes are nicely lifted in this pretty, translucent Lalande de Pomerol. This is a relatively restrained style for the year. Rose petal, cinnamon and cedar linger on the perfumed finish.

A fragrant nose of dark cherries, mulberries, undergrowth, cedar and cloves. Full-bodied with ripe and fine tannins. Full, yet balanced and fresh with a velvety texture and a silky tannin frame. Flavorful finish. Well done. 85% merlot and 15% cabernet franc. Drink from 2024. (02/2022)

The 2019 Château Les Hauts Conseillants is a plump, up-front, fruit-forward effort offering lots of ripe cherry and plum fruits, notes of spice and herbs, medium-bodied richness, and a good finish. It's well worth drinking any time over the coming 7-8 years or so. (04/2022)

The 2019 Les Hauts-Conseillants is made from 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it leaps with blackberry pies, spice cake, and redcurrants with hints of potpourri with a touch of dried roses. Medium-bodied, it is ripe, expressive, and fruity with a lively line and chewy finish. (05/2022)
