Under the skilful eye of late owner Denis Durantou since 1982, Château L`Eglise Clinet has become a key Pomerol estate, with 4.5ha of vines under production. Despite being a challenging vintage, the 2008 achieved great success, with voluptuous power and texture, rich plum, liquorice and cassis notes. As per Robert Parker in 2011 " Opulent, expansive, and savory, with a broad texture, a full-bodied mouthfeel, terrific purity and a layered finish, this is another big, massive wine that transcends the vintage character, and will probably need 7-10 years of bottle age. It should keep for 20 or more years as well."

The 2008 l’Eglise-Clinet was picked 1 to 6 October and matured in 80% new oak. It has a very refined and detailed bouquet that is less powerful than the 2009 or 2010, yet there is wonderful articulation of the terroir here, dusky black fruit laced with black truffle and a touch of undergrowth. It is the most recent vintage that suggests moving onto secondary aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin, grippy in the mouth, fresh and vibrant with an almost chalky finish. This certainly deserves to be part of the 2008/2009/2010 triumvirate and it is furnished with a beautiful mineral-driven aftertaste. The insider’s choice? Most certainly. Tasted at the l’Eglise-Clinet vertical at the château in April 2018. - Neil Martin - The 2008 l’Eglise-Clinet was picked 1 to 6 October and matured in 80% new oak.
