Château La Conseillante The name La Conseillante first appeared in the mid 18th century. It was then that the estate was bequeathed by an influential figure, who ran the property almost three hundred years ago: Catherine Conseillan. In 1871, the Nicolas family purchased the estate, whose vineyard has remained unchanged in terms of surface area and plot division since then. Currently, the château is owned by the fifth generation of the Nicolas family, who assure continuity and the attachment of a family to great wine. Bertrand Nicolas and Jean-Valmy Nicolas are joint managers of La Conseillante. Jean-Michel Laporte is its director. The emblem of the Nicolas heirs « L.N » is featured on the château’s bevelled label with its silver border. The violet coloured capsule is a reminder of the cru’s characteristic aroma. These details, chosen by the Nicolas brothers as early as 1871, are still elegant and modern in the 21st century........http://bit.ly/Il53qe
