Clos L'Eglise, Pomerol 2019 Douro A full-flavoured cut of beef

A full-flavoured cut of beef and mature cheeses would equally reveal all their subtleties in its presence

The white wines of Santenay account for only about one tenth of the appellation's production

toasted nuts and citrus peel

with plenty of tannin to age well

Clos L'Eglise, Pomerol 2019 Douro A full-flavoured cut of beefThe 2019 Clos lEglise has a beautiful bouquet of vivacious red berry fruit and suggestions of truffle and salted licorice, very focused and vibrant and gaining intensity with aeration. The palate is medium bodied with grippy, saturated tannins, a fine bead of acidity, and hints of licorice furnishing the finish. There is a sense of completeness that I adore. An outstanding Pomerol. 95 100 Neal Martin, Vinous February 2022
