Why We're Buying
Clos L'Eglise needs no introduction. For the sake of this description, though, we'll write one anyway. It’s the crown jewel of Clos L'Eglise, a highly regarded estate on the right bank of the Dordogne River. The grand vin contains a rich blend of 80 merlot and 20 cabernet franc. As wine critic Jeb Dunnuck described the 2016 vintage, “Clos L'Eglise is a rock star wine.”
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Clos l'Eglise is a final blend composed of 80 Merlot and 20 Cabernet Franc; the Merlot was harvested September 19-20, and the Cabernet Franc was harvested on October 10. Deep garnet-purple colored, it explodes on the nose with bold, expressive plum preserves, blueberry compote, mincemeat pie and sandalwood with nuances of lilacs, woodsmoke, Indian spices and dusty soil. Full-bodied, rich, velvety and decadently fruited in the mouth, it offers layer upon layer of voluptuous fruit, finishing long and spicy. 94-96
