Eglise Clinet, L' 2014

L’Église-Clinet 2014

A refined and classically styled Pomerol from one of Bordeaux’s most coveted estates, L’Église-Clinet 2014 captures the estate’s trademark depth and elegance in a vintage defined by freshness, balance, and precision. Under the meticulous stewardship of Denis Durantou, this wine exemplifies the power and sensuality of Pomerol tempered by restraint and purity.

The bouquet is beautifully nuanced, offering aromas of black cherry, plum, and blackberry layered with violet, graphite, truffle, and subtle notes of espresso and dark chocolate. Hints of licorice and sweet spice emerge with air. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, with finely polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a seamless, velvety texture. Flavors of dark fruit, savory earth, and mineral undertones carry through to a long, poised finish.

Less opulent than blockbuster vintages yet exceptionally harmonious, the 2014 L’Église-Clinet is a wine of finesse and quiet authority, already showing beautifully while retaining excellent aging potential.
