Rare wine from AOC Pomerol

100/100 Robert Parker

When to drink this wine? A mature wine. An extremely rare wine.

Parker's 1996 tasting: ‘The 1921 I'll never forget is L'Eglise-Clinet. The youngest of all the 1921s, it boasted an opaque dark ruby colour, sweet, jammy, opulent fruit, impressive concentration, high alcohol and vintage port character. Showing few signs of age, it's a massive example of what Pomerol has been doing so exceptionally well for so long - producing more hedonistic, decadent wines from Merlot and Cabernet Franc that taste better and hold their fruit longer than most Médocs! L'Eglise-Clinet 1921 and Petrus 1921 are two of the greatest wines I've ever had.’

Do you know Château l'Eglise-Clinet?

Château l'Eglise-Clinet benefits from a remarkable terroir, characterised by sloping clay and gravel soils, which allow optimum drainage of the vines. These privileged geological conditions, combined with a very favourable climate, allow us to produce exceptional wines that rival or even surpass some of the greatest red wines of Bordeaux. The blend of grape varieties is also carefully chosen, with 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, emblematic grape varieties of the Bordeaux region, in perfect harmony with the terroir and climate of this location.
