Description

It is in 1589 that the name is mentioned for the first time in the „Vieux Papiers du Libournais", which makes Domaine de l'Eglise the oldest estate on Pomerols famous plateau.

Originally property of the church, it was a hospice for people with a disease that were thus kept out of the city of Libourne. The estate was secularised in the 18th century. Domaine de l'Eglise, as the name is indicating, lies next to Pomerols church, close to Château Petrus. The round, smooth and fruity Domaine de l'Eglise has been among the most popular ones from Pomerol for many years.

Notes de Presse

17/20

What is appreciated in this vintage is its fullness, with a silky and tight tannin grain and a remarkable elongated truffle. Peak: 2013 to 2026. Bettane Desseauve

90/100

Supersilky and flattering, with a lovely marriage of lightly spiced toast and incense flavors with pure, crushed raspberry and blackberry fruit. A lacing of cocoa powder firms up the finish a touch, so let this soften with modest cellaring. Wine Spectator

16.5/20

Here is a Pomerol of sublime elegance; the extraction, which respects the scented matter of dried flowers, highlights the tactile quality of this wine with the touch of velvety and fleshy mouth. The breeding is impeccable, each sip calls for another. A very class Pomerol! Gault&Millau
