Château Clos L'Eglise
Pomerol Merlot - Cabernet Franc Blend
Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruits, pleasant spice and earthy notes. Clos L'Eglise has a wine-producing tradition spread over several centuries. A blend of 80% Merlot & 20% Cab Franc, 100% new oak, on the palate flavors of fruit & spice, Cherry & Strawberry, with notes of cinnamon & cedar, lively acidity with great mouthfeel. Fine tannins that open nicely, long finish ending with toasty cedar, tobacco and earthy spice, should continue to age well. A Must on your list!

Nov 23rd, 2020On the nose, a touch of funk, cherries, red licorice, cola, strawberries, vanilla, light cinnamon, warm, rich, dark earth and wild red florals. The body is medium and the tannins dusty M-M+. The palate matches the nose with; grainy volcanic minerals, blueberries, suede leather, nice round acidity and a rich, floral fruit finish.

Sep 1st, 2017Estate had prior succession problems & split into 2 with original Clos L'Eglise (Rouchut family) on one side and Clos L'Eglise-Clinet (Mauléon family)on the other. Clos L'Eglise has a wine-producing tradition spread over several centuries. A blend of 80% Merlot & 20% Cab Franc, 100% new oak, wonderful warm aromas of fruit & spice. Cherry & Strawberry flavors, with notes of cinnamon & nice energetic mouthfeel. Firm tight tannins that are beginning to open but should continue to age well. Put on Must Try list
