Score 89/100 · Drink 2024-2030, Neal Martin, Feb 2024
The 1999 La Petit Eglise, the second wine of l’Église-Clinet, is a gem. Having undertaken a vertical many years ago in Germany, I am aware of how this wine can mature gracefully in a bottle. The 1999 sports winsome redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit on a simple, effective, fresh bouquet. The palate had a slightly creamy texture, the acidity countering the vivid red berry fruit intermixed with blueberries. Perhaps the most surprising aspect is how youthful this Pomerol tasted – well worth seeking out.

About the producer
l'Eglise Clinet
Ch. l'Eglise-Clinet is one of the most unassuming wine estates in Bordeaux. You'd probably drive past it if you didn't have prior knowledge of its vinous output. There's no ostentatious gateway nor sweeping gravel drive.
