Description
The 2020 L'Eglise Clinet is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 L'Eglise Clinet rises from the glass with aromas of dark berries, mulberries, cherries and cassis, mingled with notes of espresso, humus-rich earth, violets and truffle, framed by creamy new oak. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it is a rich, youthfully robust and powerfully constructed young Pomerol that will reward generously with bottle aging.

ABOUT L'EGLISE CLINET
L'Eglise Clinet is a prestigious winery in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux, France. It is known for producing some of the most sought after and highly regarded wines in the world. L'Eglise Clinet's vineyards cover approximately 4.2 hectares and are situated on the famous clay and gravel soils of Pomerol. These soils are ideal for growing Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the estate's main grape varieties. It is also relevant to note that L'Eglise Clinet's vineyards border those of Chateau Petrus so where L'Eglise Clinet stops Petrus begins. L'Eglise Clinet is located in the heart of Pomerol, a small but highly renowned wine region on the right bank of the Dordogne River. The winery has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. The vineyard was formed in its current form in the mid-20th century by the Mauléon and Rouchut families.

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 L'Eglise Clinet wafts from the glass with aromas of dark berries, mulberries, cherries and cassis mingled with notions of espresso roast, loamy soil, violets and truffle framed by creamy new oak. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's a rich, youthfully firm, muscularly constructed young Pomerol that will richly reward bottle age.

A linear and transparent red with violets and dark fruits with sliced tangerines. Full- to medium-bodied with firm and racy tannins. Brightness and energy. Hints of chocolate and malted milk. Lovely purity to it. Drink after 2026 and onwards.

From: Bordeaux 2020 – The Southwold Tasting (Nov 2024)
The 2020 L'Eglise-Clinet has a very intense bouquet with multi-layered red and black fruit, cedar and iron scents—complex and engaging, though there is a touch of oak still to be assimilated. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe, saturated tannins. Satin-textured, seamless and very precise with an irresistible, youthful, sensual finish, this is a brilliant wine that needs a few years in bottle (if you can resist). Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

From: Thrice Is Nice: Bordeaux 2020 in Bottle (Feb 2023)
The 2020 L'Eglise-Clinet takes time to open up in the glass, so I afford it 15-20 minutes to aerate. It's definitely worth a bit of patience. It delivers exquisite, ineffably pure aromas of black fruit, pressed violet, hints of marmalade and truffle. Amazing focus and precision. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-chiseled tannins, crisp and taut, just a very slight creaminess in terms of texture towards the second half with a long, peppery tail on the aftertaste. This is a quite fabulous Pomerol that will give 20+ years of drinking pleasure. Noemie Durantou feels this has more depth than the 2019 and she may well be right…

From: Bordeaux 2020: Saving the Best for Last (Feb 2023)
The 2020 L'Eglise-Clinet is a wine of pure and total sophistication. Dark and racy, with remarkable depth, the 2020 is so exceptionally polished. The 2020 is not a huge Eglise-Clinet, but rather a wine that speaks in a soft, gentle voice. I love its elegance and refinement. All the 2020 needs is time in bottle to be fully expressive, as it is quite embryonic today. Look for this to be a brilliant Pomerol in another handful of years.
