Clos Saint Georges L'Eglise Pomerol 2020, Bordeaux, France

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.

On the nose red cherries, plums, red currants, light oak, chocolates and spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light oak, chocolates, spices, coffee, licorice, light tobacco leaf, earth and herbs.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 5 year old Merlot blend from Pomerol feels very young and not showing its age at all. Fruit forward with nice complexity and good balance. Elegant with good structure.

Starting to drink nicely now, and needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime, when the tannins show up and bring more structure. Spicy and entertaining.

Good by itself or with food.


A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Aged in used French oak barrels for 12 months.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Still somewhat tight and primary. A dense and masculine Pomerol. Needs more time. — a month ago

2015 vintage. A very fine Castillon by Denis Durantou ( of Eglise-Clinet fame). Better the second day, so you might want to decant. Totally outperforming stablemate Les Cruzelles ( Lalande de Pomerol), tasted alongside. Good red fruit concentration, balancing the typical Castillon chalkiness. 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.Abv. 14,5% — 7 months ago

Dark fruit on the pallet - pretty smooth. Enjoyed with steak and potato. — a year ago

I like it. A little tangy and fruity upfront, but a nice musky swallow in back.  What’s on the pallet made a difference. Enjoying with sharp cheddar and summer sausage bumps the wine up a point or two.  — 8 days ago
