Tasting notes
The deepest hued of the trio from this family, the 2024 Clos L'Eglise is based on 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, brought up in a mix of new and used barrels. Darker currants, black cherries, roasted herbs, and damp earth all define this pure, graceful, impressive Pomerol. It's medium-bodied, has a concentrated, layered mouthfeel, ripe, building tannins, and outstanding length. It's certainly the most structured of the lineup from the Garcin-Lévêque family and is a beautiful wine.

Cloves, cocoa bean, liqourice, intense, concentrated, deep damson and raspberry fruits, this is good quality although not quite the sappy pleasure of the sibling St Emilion estates in this small, high quality portfolio.
The 2024 Clos L'Eglise is packed with black fruit, gravel, incense, new leather, licorice and scorched earth. The 2024 offers good up-front textural intensity, although the dynamic energy, complexity and depth that are typical here are somewhat elusive.
The 2024 Clos l'Eglise was picked from September 24 to October 5 and matured in 50% new oak. This Pomerol exhibits impressive concentration on the nose with black cherry, boysenberry and blackcurrant scents. The palate is medium-bodied with quite a weighty entry, powdery tannins and veins of dark chocolate interlacing the black fruit. There's a bit of grip on the finish here, so afford it three years in bottle just to absorb and assimilate the oak.
