Merchant's description
Clos L’Eglise is one of the oldest châteaux in Pomerol dating all the way back to the 18th century. The property was acquired by the Garcin-Cathiard family in 1997 and is currently overseen by Hélène Garcin and Patrice Levêque. This release is their second wine from the 2009 vintage, an excellent year for Bordeaux, with hot dry weather, combined with fresh nights that encouraged good aromatics.
