Clos L’Eglise is one of the oldest châteaux in Pomerol dating back to the 18th century. The property was acquired by the Garcin-Cathiard family in 1997 and is currently overseen by Hélène Garcin and Patrice Levêque. Robert Parker on the 2000 -
“Seven years ago I said this was a monumental wine, and at two different recent tastings, it was a true star of the vintage. Its stunning dark plum color offers up notes of caramelized red and black fruits, toffee, smoke, Asian plum sauce, sweet cherries, chocolate, and espresso. Its spectacular aromatics do not disappoint on the palate, as this multi-dimensional, highly complex, opulent wine seems to have hit a magical point in its evolution. Full-bodied, and concentrated, there is no issue with drinking this dazzling effort now, but those who own it can certainly cellar it for another 15 or more years. Bravo!” 96 points, The Wine Advocate, 2010
92 Vinous
Deep in colour, the 2000 Clos l’Eglise has a perfumed bouquet with black cherries, liquorice and incense, very pure and certainly a bit less feral than the 1998. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins that frame the plush, fleshy red fruit, interlaced with liquorice, bay leaf, spicebox and sage. Maybe after 21 years there is a touch of dryness just creeping in on the finish, but it remains enjoyable. Tasted at the Clos l’Eglise vertical.
17.5 Jancis Robinson
Vivid black-cherry fruit with a wisp of bonfire smoke and bitter chocolate on the palate. Chalky tannic feel, fine-boned acidity that leaves a sharpness on the finish. Quite an angular version of Pomerol, though the flavours are ripe enough. (RH)
