Château Clos L'Église: A Grand Vin of Pomerol Opulence

Château Clos L'Église is rightly celebrated as one of Pomerol’s most opulent and richly concentrated wines. Situated on the famous clay and gravel plateau, this Grand Vin showcases the luxurious character of Merlot, complemented by the structure of Cabernet Franc.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier Profile)

• Appearance: A deep, inky red with intense garnet tones, speaking to its concentration and inherent age-worthiness.
• Aroma: The nose presents a complex, seductive tapestry of ripe black plum, cherry preserve, and a floral hint of violet. The signature tertiary notes of black truffle, cedar, cocoa, and fine leather emerge with grace.
• Taste: Full-bodied and authoritative on the palate, yet maintaining a wonderfully silky, plush texture. The tannins are refined and seamless, leading to an extremely long finish marked by sweet spice and graphite minerality.

Food Pairing & Serving Advice

To fully appreciate its complexity, this classic Right Bank wine should be decanted for at least two hours and served at 17°C (63°F). Pair with traditional, rich British fare or classic game dishes.

• Ideal Pairings: Beef Wellington, Roast Loin of Venison, Rib of Beef with Bone Marrow.
• Maturity: This wine is an investment, best enjoyed after 10 years of bottle age, with a potential to evolve for decades.
