The 2024 L'Eglise-Clinet is brilliant and intensely aromatic in its first impression. Vibrant red-toned fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, cedar and rose petal soar from the glass. Readers will find a vertical, explosive L'Eglise-Clinet that impresses with its poise and balance. The 2024 deftly marries finesse and power to a degree I have seldom seen here in the past. Superb. 2034 - 2054
Really impressive concentration for the vintage with dusty tannins that give density and intensity. Medium-bodied, this shows dark fruit and chocolate plus walnut and hazelnut undertones. Juicy and flavorful but always in reserve. Winemaker Noemie Durantou Reilhac likens it to the 2015 but with finesse. 90% merlot and the rest cabernet franc.
Dark fruit, ripe blackcurrants and plums, black cherries, sweetly floral, raspberry and cherry. Controlled and calm, this has a crushed velvet texture, almost thick in the mouth. Super seductive, chewy, ripe, fleshy even but still cool and focused. Mint, liquorice and graphite with crushed stones. This really packs a punch in terms of flavour and brightness. Mouthwatering, succulent, clean, fragrant and still with power but refined on the finish, the tannins perfectly integrated. Dark and serious but with hints of fun too. You just want to drink this right now. Flawlessly executed and furthermore a wine that gives you real emotion. Serious contender for wine of the vintage. Ageing 85% new oak barrels. 3.59pH. A yield of 42hl/ha. No chaptalisation.
