The winery is located on the Right Bank of the Bordeaux wine region, in the commune of Pomerol in the department Gironde.
As all wine produced in this appellation, La Conseillante is unclassified, but the estate is estimated among the great growths of the region.
The property, a métairie (English: small land holding) was inherited by Catherine Conseillan, a Libourne iron merchant, in 1734.
[2] By the time a modest house had been built to oversee the property, the estate had become known as "La Conseillante".
The estate was acquired by Louis Nicolas in 1871, just before the Phylloxera blight, and once faced with devastation, he became one of the pioneers of carbon disulphide injections into the soil in 1878.
