Château du Domaine de L'Eglise,
For laying down,
The property is well-situated to the north of the Pomerol plateau, where there is a little more sand and gravel, and the famous Pomerol clay. There are some old vines on the property and the wine has plenty of weight this year, concentrated by the dry summer, with heady roasted notes of ripe damson and prune. Drink 2024-2035.
Blend: 95% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc

Domaine de L'Eglise is reputedly the oldest château and vineyard in Pomerol, this 6 hectare domaine was purchased by Emile Castéja, who owns Château Batailley and Château Trotte Vieille, in 1972. Much replanting took place and the wine, which is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, is now one of Pomerol`s smartest buys.
Previously the wine was elegant but light - nowadays the wine has more body and concentration, as a consequence of a longer maceration period as well as spending 18 months in oak barriques (65% new).
