  • Goedhuis

    Made from a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the full-bodied 2007 displays denser,dark mouthfilling fruit with not a glimpse of hollowness in sight. The pronounced fine tannins kickin on the finish suggesting this is not a light weight. Wine Spectator was impressed with Dénis'efforts as well describing it as a “real wine for the vintage” and giving it the same score as 2007 Pétrus. Drink 2011-2022

  • Neal Martin, June 2017, Score: 94

    Tasted at BI Wine Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 L'Eglise Clinet has long been a strong performer. Here, at a decade old, it offers gorgeous aromas of redcurrant, crushed strawberry, tar and truffle, a discrete mineralité that only surfaces with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with superb acidity, impressive cohesion and outstanding structure (for a 2007) towards the finish. It is brimming with sophistication, class and character—one of the standout Pomerols of the vintage. Tasted February 2017. 94/100. Drink 2017-2035

  • Robert Parker, April 2010, Score: 94

    Unquestionably the Pomerol of the vintage, the dense purple-colored 2007 l'Eglise-Clinet offers anastonishing display of rich, licorice and caramel-infused kirsch, black raspberry, and cassis fruit. Rich, full-bodied, and pure, with low acidity and ripe tannin, it is already offering delicious drinking, and should continue to do so for 15-20 years. Having just had the 1997, which is not as strong a wine as this 2007, that wine, from a very mediocre vintage, is still young. Kudos to proprietor Denis Durantou. Drink: 2010 - 2030

Region

Pomerol

The small sub-region of Pomerol is situated north-east of the industrious city of Libourne. Pomerol's soils are predominately iron-rich clay with a smattering of gravel that produce wines with extraordinary power and depth. As a result of this clay-dominance, it has the highest percentage of Merlot planted in all of Bordeaux. Certain châteaux are produced exclusively from this grape, but most incorporate smaller quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc as well. Despite its hefty (if not exclusive) proportion of Merlot, many people think of wines from this region as separate entities. As one wine aficionado stated recently, "It's not Merlot. It's Pomerol." Despite the region's small size, Pomerol contains some of the world's most sought after (and expensive) wines including Pétrus, Le Pin, Lafleur, l'Evangile and Vieux Château Certan. Unlike other Bordelais subregions, there is no system of classification. The châteaux are traded on reputation alone.
