The exceptional growing season produced a wine with remarkable concentration, freshness and precision, combining ripe Merlot fruit with the structure and aromatic complexity of Cabernet Franc. Elegant, balanced and built for long-term aging, it represents the classic depth and sophistication of this historic Right Bank estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClos l'Église is an historical Bordeaux estate located in Pomerol on the right bank of the Dordogne River. The vineyard is planted largely to Merlot with some Cabernet Franc. The proportions of the grand vin varies based on the vintage, but is usually around 80:20 of the above pair. A second wine, labeled Esprit de l’Église, is made with a similar ratio. Malolactic fermentation takes place in 100-percent new French oak; the grand vin goes on to spend 16-18 months in barrel. The wine estate is recorded in the 19th Century, though the farmhouse on the property dates back to the 18th. In its early years, it formed part of a larger estate with what is now Château Gombaude Guillot. At 14 hectares (35 acres), Clos l'Église was one of the larger vineyards in Pomerol. Contested rights of succession eventually led to its division into two estates. The modern Clos l'Église retained 6ha (15 acres) and was run by the Rouchet family. The slight larger plot became Château l'Église-Clinet, run by the Mauléon family. Despite the \"Clos\" name, the vineyards are not walled. In 1975 the owners at that time (the Moreau family of Château Plince) redesigned the winemaking facilities, replacing old wooden vats with stainless steel. Also, the vineyard was expanded by planting on sections of pasture. All of the Cabernet Sauvignon (about 20 percent of the vines at that time) was removed in favor of Merlot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49744018505866,"sku":null,"price":428.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/files\/56_c54682d0-66cd-4c68-9e7a-96d169d03d44.jpg?v=1784130461","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/es-lu\/products\/2016-clos-leglise-pomerol","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
