Chateau L'Eglise Clinet風格樸實，毗鄰當地著名的Saint-Jean教堂。(L'Eglise是教堂的意思)。它與另一酒莊Clos l'Eglise，只相隔一條小巷。
已故的莊主及釀酒師Denis Durantou才情洋溢，他於1983年接掌酒莊，成功將這小酒莊變成Pomeral的明星。其卓越的葡萄酒以豐富、集中和平衡的酒體而聞名。
4.2公頃的葡萄園種植了 85%的Merlot、14% 的Cabernet Franc，最後1%是年代久遠的Malbec。葡萄酒通常在80%的新橡木桶中陳年。
Durantou於2020年去世，他的女兒Noémie和Constance以同樣的熱情，把酒莊繼續經營下去。

中等至深色的石榴紅-紫色。2017年的L'Eglise Clinet一開始有些內斂，但很快就展現出烤黑布冧、朱古力櫻桃和藍莓蜜餞的濃香，並有一絲燒烤、莫加咖啡和茴香的味道。酒體中等至飽滿，黑果的味道活力充沛、單寧極其成熟和圓潤，充滿新鮮感。餘韻悠長而美味，太棒了！

極度誘人的黑莓、樹莓、甜煙草、樹皮和蘑菇的香氣。酒體中度至飽滿，口感逐漸增強。單寧中等、圓潤，果味豐富多汁。餘韻悠長，沿著味蕾滾動，出色而持久。2024年後嘗試，但現在喝已經是一杯令人歡樂的酒。(記於2020年)
Chateau L'Eglise Clinet is a modest estate situated next to the high-spired church in Pomerol. The Chateau and its neighbour, Clos l'Eglise, is separated only by a narrow lane.
The late Denis Durantou, a highly respected owner and winemaker took over the estate in 1983. He turned this tiny estate into a star in Pomeral which is famed for its excellent quality with the mixture of opulence, concentration and body.
Its 4.2 hectares of vineyard is typically a blend of 85% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 1% of very old Malbec wines. The wine is typically aged in 80 percent new oak.
Durantou died in 2020, his daughters Noémie and Constance have taken over with the same passion.

Tasting Notes:

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 L'Eglise Clinet begins a little closed and broody, soon unfurling to reveal powerful notes of baked black plums, chocolate-covered cherries and blueberry preserves with hints of chargrill, mocha and aniseed plus a touch of tar. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is a powerhouse of crunchy, vibrant black fruit, framed by wonderfully ripe, rounded tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and savory. Bravo!

Extremely enticing aromas of blackberries, brambleberries, sweet tobacco, bark and mushrooms follow through to a medium to full body that grows on the palate and crescendoes to medium, round tannins, juicy fruit and a long, flavorful finish. Rolls along the palate. Excellent, persistent finish. Try after 2024, but already a joyous glass. (published in 2020)
