Clos L’Eglise 2001 is a full-bodied red wine, predominantly crafted from Merlot, hailing from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. This vintage reflects the Château`s historical significance, as Clos L’Eglise is one of the oldest estates in the region, established in the 18th century. Since its acquisition by the Garcin-Cathiard family in 1997, Hélène Garcin and Patrice Levêque have been dedicated to its production. The wine offers complex aromas of red and black fruits, alongside earthy undertones, showcasing the vineyard`s unique terroir over time.
95 Robert Parker
The 2001 offers a huge spectrum of aromas, including notes of smoke, mocha, chocolate, coffee, and loads of blackberry, cherry, and currant fruit. The superb aromatics are followed by an elegant, medium-bodied, deliciously supple-textured, expansive, fleshy, beautifully pure, well-delineated Pomerol. It is a brilliant effort as well as one of the candidates for the wine of the appellation in 2001. Anticipated maturity. 2005-2014. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
93 Vinous
The 2001 Clos l’Eglise has a vivacious bouquet with intense eucalyptus scents bursting from the glass. Maybe I would have toned this down? The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins, good weight and a little more precision compared to the 2000. Grainy in texture, truffle and sage, a little minty towards the finish with a lively finish that has more energy than the preceding vintage. Well worth seeking out. Tasted at the Clos l’Eglise vertical.
18 Jancis Robinson
Very rich, opulent and easy. Lively. Slightly harsh end, but very exciting. Spicy and characterful. (JR)
