There’s a minerality to this with dark-berry, cedar, dried-flower and sandalwood aromas following through to a medium to full body. Ultrafine tannins run the length of the wine. It’s racy and focused at the end. A muscular yet beautifully formed red from L’Eglise Clinet. Drink after 2028.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Pomerol

Pomerol, a distinguished appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, stands as a vinous jewel celebrated for its exceptional Merlot-dominant red wines. What makes Pomerol unique is its relatively small size, allowing for an intimate focus on individual vineyards and an emphasis on artisanal winemaking. Unlike many Bordeaux regions, Pomerol does not have a formal classification system, placing the spotlight on each estate's intrinsic quality and distinct terroir. Merlot thrives in Pomerol's clay-rich soils, crafting wines of opulence, velvety texture, and alluring plum and black cherry notes. Iconic châteaux like Pétrus and Le Pin showcase the pinnacle of Pomerol's winemaking prowess. The absence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends further accentuates the appellation's uniqueness. Pomerol wines are revered for their approachability in youth and the ability to evolve gracefully over time, exemplifying the timeless elegance and allure of this exceptional Bordeaux appellation.

The Wine Independent

This comes from 0.62 hectares of Église-Clinet, selected mostly on the basis of terroir, mostly from two parcels near the church and near La Fleur-Pétrus, not young vines but on lighter clays, and in 2022 including some old-vine fruit from close to the château. It is 85% Merlot blended with 15% Cabernet Franc, and the élevage was in 60% new oak. An immediate thrust of focused confidence on the nose, before it quickly reveals its perfumed character, pure raspberry and red cherry with notes of rose and peony. This sense of tautly drawn purity continues on the palate, which starts mineral, focused and seamlessly composed, with a more structured middle of tightly packed tannins which interdigitate with these mineral fruits. Beautifully defined in the middle, with a great tannic confidence at the end, and it has length too. A super second wine (although, apart from that young-vine component, it is not really a second wine). The alcohol is 14.5% on analysis.

Succulent boysenberry and plum sauce notes stream through, flanked by licorice and singed apple wood on the finish. Delicious and approachable now. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2032. 450 cases made.

The 2022 L'Église-Clinet has a generous bouquet with brambly red fruit, wild mint, fennel and light crushed stone scents that gain clarity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and gentle grip, silky smooth with a touch of dark chocolate towards the finish. Give this a couple of years, just to soak up that patina of new oak. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

Coming from two designated parcels and mostly Merlot with 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2022 Petite Eglise reveals a dense purple hue as well as beautiful Pomerol aromatics of ripe black cherries, damp earth, darker chocolate, and forest, leafy herb-like nuances. It's beautifully balanced, medium to full-bodied, has sweet, polished tannins, and a great finish.
