An elegant and aromatic Pomerol wine
The estate
Located in the heart of Pomerol, Château L’Église-Clinet traces its origins back to 1882, when Monsieur Mauléon-Rouchut, ancestor of Denis Durantou, created a new vineyard by bringing together certain plots from Clos L’Église and Château Clinet. This estate on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, initially named Clos L’Église-Clinet, was renamed “Château L’Église-Clinet” in 1955.
The vineyard
Château L’Église-Clinet oversees a 4.5-hectare terroir within the Pomerol appellation.
The vintage
The 2020 vintage is marked by an early budburst of the vines. A rainy spring was followed by a scorching summer. Grapes harvested at perfect ripeness are of exceptional quality.
Blend
Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%).
