Description

The power of a velvety and delicate great red wine from Pomerol

The property

Located in the heart of Pomerol, Clos L’Église was recognized as one of the most extensive vineyards during the 18th century. Purchased in 1997 by Sylviane Garcin Cathiard, sister of Daniel Cathiard, owner of Smith Haut-Lafitte, the property is now under the direction of Hélène Garcin Cathiard and Patrice Lévêque.

The vineyard

This Pomerol property oversees a vineyard covering an area of 5.89 hectares on a clay-gravel soil.

Vinification and aging

Harvested by hand, the grapes undergo vinification in stainless steel vats. The aging lasts 18 to 24 months in French oak barrels.

Blend

Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Franc (20%).

Characteristics and tasting advice for Clos l'Eglise 2018

Tasting

Color
Dark color, purple, shimmering with violet reflections.

Nose
Powerful, intensely expressive and of great purity, the nose opens with notes of small black fruits evoking blackcurrant and blackberry, evolving towards licorice and chocolate notes. Graphite mineral notes then appear and give way to notes evoking smoked earth.

Palate
On the palate, the wine reveals the breadth of its personality by deploying a deliciously melting and enveloping substance with a velvety texture. The great finesse of the tannins structures the wine with a lot of elegance. The mid-palate shines with the brightness of the juicy fruit, stretching into the length of a spicy and powerful finish. A very great vintage of Clos L’Église that will evolve wonderfully over the years of aging.
