In the 18th century, Clos L’ Eglise with its 14 hectares was considered to be a very big domaine for Pomerol, ahead of about a dozen great wines which formed – & still form –the heart of Pomerol. The estate subsequently took the name of Clos LEglise. However, following succession problems, it was split into two with, on the one side, the original Clos L’ Eglise (Rouchut family) & on the other, Clos LEglise-Clinet (Mauleon family). Clos LEglise therefore has a continuous wine-producing tradition spread of several centuries. The colour is dense ruby/violet. The knock-out nose is evolved, but compelling. Aromas of sweet jammy black cherry liqueur & plump fruit are nicely complemented by smoky new oak. Round & medium to full-bodied, with a voluptuous richness & opulent texture, this hedonistic, low acid, plump, fleshy Pomerol is sexy & hedonistic.
