James Suckling
This is amazingly perfumed with amazing aromas of fresh violets and pink roses. Blackberries and dark fruit. Black truffle and stone. It’s full-bodied with fantastic structure and tannins. Yet, it’s weightless and so beautiful. The length is ethereal and goes on for minutes. You taste it and it’s so wonderful that you want to drink it. One for the cellar. Better in 2028, but already a joy.

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, aged in 70% new oak, the 2019 L'Eglise-Clinet is deep garnet-purple in color. It is a tad shy to begin, with coaxing revealing notes of black raspberries, kirsch, and preserved plums, leading to suggestions of cinnamon toast, charcoal, fertile loam, and iron ore with an exotic waft of cardamom. Medium to full-bodied, the palate already possesses incredible balance, giving up layer upon layer of black and red fruits with loads of mineral accents and a firm, grainy texture, with this stunning wine finishing very long and beautifully perfumed.

Profoundly fascinating on the nose. Very floral. Irises and violets first, then hints of blossom and a whiff of graphite minerality – and then the fruit starts to appear. Damsons and blueberries, brambles and both black and red cherries. Truffles, too. This has a gorgeous texture. Broad and intense, yet deep and brooding and so soft it’s almost difficult to discern at first the considerable structure. A very fitting if exceptionally poignant tribute to the genius who created it (the late, great and much lamented Denis Durantou – this was his last vintage).
