Château l'Eglise-Clinet

Pomerol's Cabernet Franc and Merlot blends, rated by major critics.

Château l'Eglise-Clinet sits in Pomerol, the heart of Bordeaux's Libournais region, where clay and iron-rich soils nurture some of France's most structured right-bank wines. The estate produces two principal expressions: its flagship Pomerol, a Cabernet Franc and Merlot blend that achieves depth and complexity, and La Petite Eglise Pomerol, a secondary offering that echoes the same varietal composition. Both wines have drawn assessment from major critics including Decanter, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. The flagship Pomerol averages a prestige rating of 93.2, while La Petite Eglise registers at 91.9—a testament to the consistency of fruit and winemaking across the portfolio. In Pomerol, Merlot and Cabernet Franc thrive on the region's distinctive terroir, producing wines marked by dark fruit, silky tannins, and the mineral undertones characteristic of the appellation.
