Tasting notes
The 2021 Domaine de l'Eglise is the first vintage that is pure Merlot, as the Cabernet Franc was not showing so well. This has a pure, lifted bouquet of black cherries and raspberry fruit laced with cedar and pressed flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, nice balance and a slightly linear finish. Fine.

Cassis bud, black cherry, white pepper, clear persistency with a bitter chocolate finish. Should be ready within 4 to 5 years for drinking and deliver for a further decade. Acidity a little higher than in normal years, accentuated by alcohol that is around 1% lower than usual. 3.6ph. Harvest September 15 to October 15, long and slow.
A fresh, blue-fruited nose with plums, violets, raw mushrooms and wet soil. Structured yet delicate at the same time. Medium-bodied, with refined, silky tannins. Lingering and supple. It’s 100% merlot for the first time. Drink from 2027.
