In the heart of the best terroirs of Pomerol, Château L'Eglise Clinet is an enclave of 5.5 hectares skilfully managed by Denis Durantou, one of the most accomplished stylists of the appellation. The deep old gravels mixed with clay at the top of the plateau are a unique feature of this estate’s wines, granting them a floral charm and extremely smooth tannins. Evolving beautifully through the ages, this is a wine that can easily be drunk over the next ten years.
