Château L`Église-Clinet was formed in the 1950s through the consolidation of vineyard parcels that were initially part of Clos L`Église and Château Clinet. The esteemed winemaker Denis Durantou, highly regarded for his contributions, assumed the role of owner-winemaker in 1983 and played a pivotal role in elevating L`Église-Clinet`s standing. Unfortunately, Durantou passed away in 2020, and his daughters, Constance and Noëmie, have since taken the reins of the estate. Each vintage of the Grand Vin typically consists of about 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. The 2010 vintage, despite a notably dry growing season with its challenges, ultimately proved to be exceptional.

Deep garnet colored, the 2010 L'Eglise Clinet begins unassumingly with gentle notions of fragrant dried flowers and wild sage leading to savory nut and meat characters over an expanding core of preserved plums, blueberry compote and black cherry coulis plus a waft of menthol. Full-bodied, concentrated and wonderfully decadent, the palate is absolutely packed with rich, ripe black fruit preserves and loads of spicy sparks, framed by super ripe, super plush tannins, finishing very long and decadent. I love the interplay of subtly and power here - this is truly a WOW wine!Lisa Perrotti-Brown5th March 2020

The 2010 L’Eglise-Clinet comes across a little introverted and sullen on the nose compared to its peers in this very strong flight. It is attractive in its own way with pretty red berry fruit, briary and rose petals, but declines to reveal its complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, slightly lactic in style, modern in the context of this Pomerol cru, but well balanced on the finish.
