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!

The depth and beauty in the aromas really draw you in with black truffles, blackberries, crushed stones, violets and other flowers. Black olives, too. Full-bodied, super refined and structured with perfectly manicured tannins and a very, very long finish. It’s full of soul and precision. Take a look after 2024.

The 2016 L’Eglise-Clinet was matured in 80% new oak and bottled in mid-April 2018. Crystal clear in color, it has an equally crystal clear bouquet that is utterly seductive, featuring red cherries, wild strawberry, peony and iris flowers and a hint of bay leaf. You could sit and nose this all day. The balanced palate is medium-bodied and grippy in the mouth, displaying supple tannin and a perfect line of acidity. Again, there is a symmetry about this Pomerol that is utterly beguiling, and the persistence is up there with the very best. Simply put, this is one of the best L’Eglise-Clinet wines I have tasted in recent years. Stunning. By Neal Martin.

90% Merlot und 10% Cabernet Franc, 43 hl/ha. Tiefes Purpur mit schwarzer Mitte und Granatschimmer am Rand. Ein Konzentrat aus reifer Kirschfrucht und roten Pflaumen, dahinter Rosenholz und kandierte Feigen, aber auch Gewürzkuchen. Am fülligen Gaumen mit einer unglaublich dichten und tiefen Länge aufwartend, dazu intensive Noten von Heidelbeersaft und Schlehengelee. Der Wein wird immer länger, ohne dabei seine Eleganz zu verlieren und endet in einem berauschenden Finale mit schwarzen Johannisbeerenpastillen und frisch gerösteten Himbeerkernen. Die Balance macht den Unterschied und daher zücke ich hier die Höchstnote für den besten Pomerol! Auf dem Factsheet steht bei der Flaschenanzahl übrigens: «Too few cases made!
