La Petite Eglise is the second wine of Château l`Eglise-Clinet, the family estate of the late, great Denis Durantou and one of Pomerol`s finest small estates, made from 100% Merlot with a softer, earlier-drinking style than the grand vin. The 2010 vintage was outstanding across Pomerol, giving ripe, generous fruit. dark plum, chocolate and liquorice on the nose, with a smooth, rounded palate and moderate tannins. Approachable now but with several more years ahead of it, this is a well-priced way into serious Pomerol character. Pairs well with duck or beef.
