CRITIC REVIEWS
William Kelley
A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 LEglise Clinet wafts from the glass with aromas of dark berries, mulberries, cherries and cassis mingled with notions of espresso roast, loamy soil, violets and truffle framed by creamy new oak. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, its a rich, youthfully firm, muscularly constructed young Pomerol that will richly reward bottle age.
Georgina Hindle
Smooth and silky, rich for sure, you know youre in Pomerol in a ripe vintage with just-chewy tannins but that also have a cooling, crisp edge. Lots of herbal nuances and some bitterness in the coffee, black chocolate, clove and tobacco nuances but there’s good acidity and vibrancy overall. Really well controlled and delivered, retaining a sense of punchy classicism balancing richness, freshness, delicacy and plushness.
