Suckling om: La Petite Eglise (2.Wein)

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.

Decanter om: La Petite Eglise (2.Wein)

Dark fragranced berries on the nose, fruity and savoury touches, smells expressive and open, lovely florality with dark chocolate aspects and summer red berries. Beautifully delivered, really a beguiling and charming wine with supple tannins, a really juicy but controlled density, softly plush with a powdery grip and overall really quite saline minerality. Delicate and so graceful on the palate, not at all rich or exuberant, but calm and refined with plenty of cool blue fruits and overall seriously refreshing aspects but also the most gorgeous floral tones that last the entire palate. Generous, but not shouting at all, still with power underneath. A beautiful expression of the vintage and terroir. No trace of heat. A yield of 32hl/ha. Earliest harvest ever picked, before was 3-4 September. Ageing in 85% new oak barrels. Harvest 3 - 9 September. 94/100

Jane Anson om: La Petite Eglise (2.Wein)

Earliest harvest on record, beginning August 31, and yet great Merlot quality is clear. An intense, almost reserved structure at this point, blackberry laced with cocoa bean and chocolate shavings, gunsmoke, black pepper and grilled fennel as it opens, great depth of flavour, clear family signature with L'Eglise Clinet. 34hl/h yields. Noémie Durantou winemaker.

Wine Cellar Insider om: La Petite Eglise (2.Wein)

This is a beautiful expression of flowers with plums, cherries, and cocoa. As nice as the nose is, it is on the palate, with its silky, creamy, layers of sweet, red, and black fruits that the wine shows its best. It is difficult to believe this is only a second wine, as it competes with many, much more expensive wines from the plateau. Enjoy this while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop. The wine blends 85% Merlot with 15% Cabernet Franc. 14.5% ABV. Drink from 2025-2042. 93-95/100

Min vinmager

Eglise Clinet

De seks hektar vinmark Eglise Clinet ligger bag kirken i Pomerol på dyb grusjord med en blanding af sand, ler og jern. Denne vinmark er en af de få, der ikke skulle genplantes efter den hårde frost i 1956 i Pomerol, og den har derfor en særlig gammel bestand af vinstokke.
