Lying just north of Pomerol's church, the château lies just east of Château Clinet and l'Eglise Clinet, while to the east of Château du Domaine de L'Eglise itself is Château Le Gay. Over the road to the north are Château La Croix de Gay and Château Rouget. As the name implies, Château du Domaine de L'Eglise was once a religious property – in this case the grounds were once a hospice for lepers on the pilgrim road to Santiago de Compostela. It is first mentioned in 1589, making it the oldest known estate in the appellation. As with most religious holdings, the estate was sequestered by the state in the French Revolution and auctioned off. It was held by the Landard family until 1972 when it was sold to the Castéja family. The vineyards sit on a terroir of gravelly clay on a highly-regarded area for vineyards, often referred to as the \"Pomerol plateau\". The vineyard (and resulting wine) is planted predominantly to Merlot with a small amount of Cabernet Franc, which can be as little as four percent of the final blend. The château is overseen by Philippe Castéja (Borie-Manoux).\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-09T16:30:23-05:00","created_at":"2023-03-02T13:43:55-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","NK0203","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Château du Domaine de L'Eglise","Region_Bordeaux","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Bordeaux Blend Red"],"price":44999,"price_min":44999,"price_max":44999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42815789596810,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2019 | Château du Domaine de L'Eglise | Pomerol","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":44999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/32_669fc80f-5fd4-4748-8a53-0b1146156ea8.jpg?v=1677782767"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/32_669fc80f-5fd4-4748-8a53-0b1146156ea8.jpg?v=1677782767","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2019 | Château du Domaine de L'Eglise | Pomerol at CaskCartel.com","id":24322273673354,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/32_669fc80f-5fd4-4748-8a53-0b1146156ea8.jpg?v=1677782767"},"aspect_ratio":0.6,"height":1000,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/32_669fc80f-5fd4-4748-8a53-0b1146156ea8.jpg?v=1677782767","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2019 | Château du Domaine de L'Eglise | Pomerol\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2019 Domaine de l`Eglise has quite a high-toned nose that needs more complexity, all upfront black fruit but I am seeking more terroir expression and Pomerol DNA behind it.
