Clos L`Eglise 2005 is a full-bodied, merlot-based red wine from the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. Clos L’Eglise is one of the oldest châteaux in Pomerol dating all the way 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. "This vintage continues to impress, and the 2005 Clos L`Eglise is nothing short of stunning. Boasting a youthful ruby/plum hue as well as sensational notes of red and black currants, camphor, graphite, dried herbs, and loamy earth, it`s full-bodied, multi-dimensional, flawlessly balanced, and has a finish that won`t quit. Still not quite at full maturity, it nevertheless dishes out loads of pleasure and will shine for another 20-25 years." Jeb Dunnuck, 2020

The 2005 Clos l’Eglise has a fresh and vibrant bouquet with quite strong eucalyptus aromas, well defined and maybe a little New World in style. The palate is medium-bodied with thickset tannins, grippy brambly fruit, slightly viscous. Powerful, gutsy and bold, this is a big boned, brassy Pomerol; although, you might argue that it is missing a little finesse on the finish. Hedonists will get a kick out of this.
