The Winery
Clos l`Eglise
Dating back to the 19th century, Clos l'Église is a Right Bank Bordeaux estate located in Pomerol. Back in the 18th century, Clos l'Église had one of the larger vineyards in Pomerol—14 hectares—until the succession that led to the division of the estate. The division of the estate led to modern Clos l'Église run by the Rouchet family and the other plot would become Château l'Église-Clinet run by the Mauléon family. In 1997, Clos l'Église was bought by the Garcin family for a record price at the time. Clos l'Église vineyards are primarily composed of Merlot but also a hint of Cabernet Franc. Vintages to look out for: 2016, 2015, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2006, 2005, 2001, 2000 and 1998.
Tasting Notes
- WS94
- This rich, toasty, showy style boasts lots of flashy anise and espresso notes up front, but ample layers of crushed fig, steeped plum and dark mixed berry fruit behind it. Nice grip strides in on the finish, with a graphite spine adding serious length…
- WA98
- The 2009 is one of the sexiest wines in Pomerol in this vintage, offering up notes of melted caramel, sweet mocha, blackberry and black cherry fruit, with hints of loamy soil and unsmoked cigar tobacco as well as a touch of white chocolate and some subtle toasty oak. Round, opulent and unctuously textured, with a full-bodied mouthfeel, fabulous purity, and no hard edges, this sumptuous, fleshy, lavishly rich Pomerol can be drunk now and over the next 25 years.
