L’Eglise Clinet 2012 is crafted from a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. The nose reveals notes of ripe blackcurrant and subtle earthy tones, complemented by hints of cedar and dried herbs. Soft tannins create a smooth mouthfeel, delivering a structured profile. L’Eglise Clinet, known for its rich history, is a Pomerol estate committed to quality and tradition, producing wines that reflect the terroir`s nuances.
100 Robert Parker
A wine that wins my nomination for the title of "wine of the vintage" is the 2012 L`Eglise Clinet, a fleshy and enveloping Pomerol evocative of dark cherries and berries mingled with licorice, spices, pencil lead, truffle and rose petals. Full-bodied, broad and textural, it`s lavish and expansive, with terrific depth at the core, supple tannins and a long, resonant finish. Seamless, charming and impeccably balanced, this transcends the vintage, and while it`s deceptively drinkable now, it remains a mere adolescent at age 11. - William Kelley

The 2012 L'Eglise-Clinet is medium to deep garnet colored. It prances out with showy, gregarious notes of candied violets, kirsch, and black cherry compote, followed by plum preserves, Ceylon tea, charcoal, and cinnamon toast. The full-bodied palate has gorgeous, open-knit, perfumed layers, with super-plush tannins and lovely freshness, finishing long and perfumed.Lisa Perrotti-Brown16th February 2023

The carefully-crafted precision of the fruits is clear right from the first nose. A serious, subdued L'Eglise Clinet at 10 years old, putting a marker down in terms of carefully-crafted fruits and fine-boned tannins. Enjoyable, tertiary notes of truffles and earth are just beginning to surface. 80% new oak.Jane Anson30th March 2022

The 2012 L'Eglise Clinet is a real head-turner. Explosive and rich in the glass, the 2012 boasts superb depth throughout. Sweet floral and spiced notes develop first, followed by intense red and blue-fleshed fruit. Violets, mint, sage and sweet spices add nuance as the 2012 opens up, but it is really the wine's vertical structure that stands out above all else. I very much like the pure energy that is so central to the wine's personality. This is a superb showing, and one of the clear highlights of the year. Readers should cellar the 2012 for at least a few years. Antonio Galloni1st January 2016
