Château L'Eglise Clinet
Just a few paces from the small church of Saint‑Jean in Pomerol sits Château L’Eglise‑Clinet, a property whose scale never hinted at its stature. Its origins reach back to the early 1800s; through successive acquisitions and the later union of Clos L’Eglise with parcels once linked to Clinet, the modern estate took shape. The decisive chapter began in 1983, when Denis Durantou rebuilt cellar and vineyard with uncompromising focus.
Gravel over dark clay – with pockets of iron-rich material – gives Merlot slow-ripening depth and tension. Cabernet Franc contributes a cool, vertical line. Hand harvesting, low yields and parcel vinifications keep the terroir sharply legible.
New oak is employed as architecture rather than perfume. The result is Pomerol in high definition: concentrated yet agile, silky-compact tannins, and a long finish that feels quietly reverent.Château L'Eglise Clinet
