Soft, plushy black cherry, plum, graphite, bay leaf. Excellent length. Was hoping to be blown away and am not quite, but it’s high quality Pomerol all the same. Happy Father’s Day — 4 days ago

Still somewhat tight and primary. A dense and masculine Pomerol. Needs more time. — 7 months ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Dry on the palate with medium acidity.

Showing black fruits with oak, licorice, spices, chocolates, vanilla, coffee, peppercorn, earth, vegetables and herbs.

Medium finish with medium tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 7 year old from the great 2016 vintage is still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. showing a soft mouthfeel with nice complexity.

Needed 3 hours in the decanter to open up.

Decanter 93 points.

100% Merlot grapes.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$12. — 3 years ago

Un vin Hors norme! Mon meilleur HB et mon Meilleur 1982. Tout y etait. Fruit, matiere, finesse, structure, longueur et nez renversant. Il vient se classer avec les Clinet 90 et cheval Blanc 90 comme vin mytique a mes yeux! — 6 years ago

Estate 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 — 8 years ago

Nice yummy fruit, balance. 90 Merlot/10 Cab Franc from Lalande de Pomerol. Not much length, but delightful at the BBQ! From the Durantou family of Chateau l'Eglise Clinet. — 10 years ago

2015 vintage. A very fine Castillon by Denis Durantou ( of Eglise-Clinet fame). Better the second day, so you might want to decant. Totally outperforming stablemate Les Cruzelles ( Lalande de Pomerol), tasted alongside. Good red fruit concentration, balancing the typical Castillon chalkiness. 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.Abv. 14,5% — a year ago

This did more than hold its own in a 1966 tasting that included Haut Brion and l’Eglise Clinet. Beautiful wine, very elegant. — 7 years ago
