This is so perfumed with violets and blackberries, even some black truffles. Full-bodied with wonderfully polished tannins that melt into the wine. Reserved at the finish. Extremely racy and long. The 20% cabernet franc in the blend gives this depth and complexity. One of the best I remember. Try after 2026.
Producer
Château L'Eglise Clinet

Amongst the top echelons of Pomerol, Château L'Eglise-Clinet is quite a small Bordeaux estate with a holding of just 5.5-hectares of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Located on Pomerol’s famed plateau, the terroir of gravelly clay soils builds L'Eglise-Clinet’s signature style of concentrated and aromatic complex wines. Vintage after vintage the quality of L’Eglise-Clinet continues to improve. The Grand Vin, L’Eglise-Clinet is a magnificent structured, dense classically proportioned example of the appellation. The château also produces Le Petite L’Eglise, which is not thought of as a second wine by Durantou, it is an expression his vineyards that sit on the sandy gravelly soil plots. Montlandrie comes from the limestone and clay terroir of his Côtes de Castillon vineyard, it is a Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon blend.
