Eglise-Clinet seeks neither shortcuts nor demonstrations. It is a wine that cherishes clarity, subtlety, and relevance. Getting straight to the point while displaying depth is a stylistic exercise that this wine masters brilliantly. Nuances of licorice and blackberry combine with aromas of anise and violets to underscore the existing plurality and complexity. The harmony between freshness, depth, and subtlety is captivating. On the palate, the wine reveals itself gradually. Slightly saline on the attack, it embarks on a cautious journey and gradually gains breadth. Its acidic structure, along with the tannins, provides a solid and invigorating foundation that guarantees a continuous source of energy, without any drop in intensity, with extraordinary consistency! Eglise-Clinet also distinguishes itself in its ability to perform on the finish, where the winemaking process often leads to a less satisfying conclusion. In this particular case, it delivers a surge of tension, freshness, and dazzling, moving, and convincing expression. Eglise-Clinet is exemplary; it recounts the stages of a challenging vintage, revealing details that reflect not constraints, but a terroir that the winemakers listened to attentively to extract its very best. A brilliant wine, once again, and that's no sm(more...)

Violets, lilies, chocolate, espresso, plums, black cherries, and truffle aromatics already pop in the perfume. The palate is where the action really takes place. With just a swirl, and sip, you find concentrated layers of fleshy, opulent, creamy-textured, fruits, berries, chocolate, wet earth, and espresso. The complex, and powerful, velvet-drenched, opulent, lengthy finish continues along the same theme with a vibrant, polish to the hedonistic end notes that keep everything going long after your glass has been finished. The wine is produced from a blend of 90% Merlot with 10% Cabernet Franc, 14.5% ABV. The harvest took place September 4 - September 12. Drink from 2030-2065. - 98 to 100 Points - Jeff Leve

Still marked by oak, with the usual depth and aromatic complexity, black cherries, prunes, with violets and a hint of anise spice; silky smooth on the palate, highly elegant, powerful, yet never clumsy, the 14.5% alcohol is countered by very good acidity, the tannins are present, the wine dances between power, structure, fruit, and spice, aromatically very long, leaving a salty mouthfeel. Grand Pomerol cinema. (Drink from 2032 to 2070). - 97 to 99 Points - Adrian Van Velsen
