Château CLOS L’EGLISE 2006

Description

Jean-Marc Quarin 95 points www.quarin.com
Superbe vin au nez truffé à la bouche puissante, moelleuse, très aromatique et complexe en finale. Il faut l’encaver impérativement.Un vin que j’ai encore goûté 3 fois hors de la propriété et qui fait merveille.

at Bordeaux Index’s annual 10-Year On tasting in London and then at the château, the 2006 Clos l’Eglise has an attractive, quite opulent bouquet with blueberry and crème de cassis aromas tinged with black truffle and violets. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, good acidity, grippy in the mouth and substantial weight on the finish. If it can evolve more finesse on the finish, this will be a very satisfying Pomerol, so afford it another 3-4 years in bottle. Tasted March 2016. (2019-2035)

This has to be a star buy for this winter, it is absolutely stunning value! Despite its age it still has plenty of fine, grippy tannins, backed up by meaty black fruit flavours with hints of plum and violet. The mid-palate opens up to reveal flavours of fresh tobacco, cedar, vegetal mulch and toffee. It has the air of a Bordeaux from a more prestigious appellation, that’s for sure.
