The 2016 L'Eglise Clinet has a medium to deep garnet-purple color with aromas of warm black cherries, mulberries and Black Forest cake slipping seductively from the glass plus nuances of rose hip tea, baking spices, fragrant soil and fallen leaves. Medium to full-bodied, it's wonderfully elegant in the mouth with fantastically plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long and very perfumed. Beautiful!
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.
