Château L'Eglise-Clinet
Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend
Pomerol, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Raised a glass tonight to owner and winemaker Denis Durantou who passed in May. We were fortunate to meet him for a tasting and tour of his property back in 2012....a wonderful person, great winemaker with a sly sense of humor....jokingly told us Chateau Petrus knew it was time to pick their fruit when they would look over and see him picking his fruit😂.
1.5 hour decant (lots of chunky sediment). A superb dark garnet color with some bricking. On the nose: Very Expressive! with forest floor, plum, sweet vanilla, earthy, floral, and band aids. Taste: A soft medium body wine with plum/strawberry, minerals, crushed rocks, leading to a dry pencil lead finish. Well Done in a "difficult" vintage ( though many in Pomerol picked before all the Sept. rain).

Dark garnet in color. On the nose—Mushroom, dark plum and currants, wet rock lingers throughout with sweet scents of cream brûlée. Taste is very different - initially on the tongue dark raspberry plum, as you drink the wine caramel chocolate coffee come out nicely and a minerally dry long finish.

Mar 8th, 20201999 a "difficult" vintage in Bordeaux with lots of rain throughout September...but many in Pomerol picked before the rain.
1 hour decant (some chunky sediment). An astonishing dark garnet color with just a little bricking on the edges. On the nose: plum, mushroom, red currents, wet rocks, earthy, vanilla, and green bell pepper. Taste: little bit of raspberry/plum, chocolate, espresso, with a dry minerally finish. Nice acidity...enjoyed this interesting expression from a tough year.
