Nöemie Durantou remarked that this vintage is the best she had ever known with respect to the Merlot, and given that the 2022 L'Eglise-Clinet contains 90% Merlot, that pre-empted a fabulous Pomerol. Durantou also mentioned that her wines were a little more "shy" compared to the previous day, though the bouquet only needed four or five minutes' coaxing before it unfolded with wonderfully delineated, focused scents of black cherries, peony, blood orange and crushed stone. Exquisitely balanced, the palate has a cashmere texture thanks to the pliant tannins, gaining density all the time. The finish is powerful and very sustained, disguising the 14.6% alcohol extremely well thanks to its countervailing acidic spine, though you feel a dab on the aftertaste. The 2022 is a L'Eglise-Clinet built for the long-term and continues the estate's stunning run of form.

98 /100

This is a wine that needs time in the bottle and in the glass, serious and well built, with body and character, and merits extra ageing. The texture brings us into the heart of Pomerol, or rather its heights, with luscious but reserved quality and the intellectual edge of L’Eglise Clinet. Crushed roses and violets set against dark cassis and blueberry fruits, just brilliant. Harvest September 3 to 9 harvest. 85% new oak, harvest September 3 to 9. Noemie Durantou and Olivier Gautrat.

98 /100

Offering up deep aromas of mulberries and cassis mingled with incense, licorice, rose petals, spices and hints of new oak, the 2022 L'Eglise Clinet is full-bodied, deep and layered, with an elegantly muscular core of ripe but vibrant fruit that's framed by sweet, powdery tannins. Concentrated and multidimensional, it concludes with a long, resonant finish. A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, harvested between September 3 and 9, this compelling Pomerol checks in at a largely concealed 14.6% alcohol.

Cabernet Franc - Merlot

Cabernet Franc – Merlot er en klassisk variant af det røde Bordeaux‑blend, særligt forbundet med Right Bank‑områderne Saint‑Émilion og Pomerol, hvor nogle af verdens mest prestigefyldte vine skabes på netop denne kombination.

Merlot udgør typisk hoveddelen af blendet og bidrager med moden mørk frugt, blød mundfølelse og rund struktur, med smagsnoter af blomme, mørke bær og ofte et strejf af chokolade. Cabernet Franc giver til gengæld aromatisk løft, floralitet, friskhed og krydderi, og dens karakteristiske urtede noter og elegante tanninprofil tilføjer kompleksitet og finesse.

Denne balance mellem Merlots generøse frugt og Cabernet Francs vibrerende aromatik skaber vine, der er både tilgængelige i deres ungdom og samtidigt lagringsdygtige. Kombinationen er så succesfuld i Bordeaux, at store navne som Château Cheval Blanc er kendt for netop denne druekombination.

Blendet findes nu også uden for Frankrig, bl.a. i Californien, Washington, New York, Toscana og Sydafrika, hvor producenter fortolker det i både frugtdrevne og mere strukturerede udgaver.
