Clos l'Eglise 2020 Dobbeltmagnum

Clos l'Eglise 2020 in double magnum format is a striking Pomerol that combines depth, finesse, and remarkable presence on the table. Made from Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it captures the essence of Bordeaux’s Right Bank with a seamless blend of power, silkiness, and aromatic complexity, while the large-format bottle promises especially graceful evolution over time. The 2020 vintage is already being spoken of as one of the estate’s most impressive modern releases, drawing comparisons to standout years such as 2009 and 2016.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Clos l'Eglise 2020 shows a deep, dark ruby colour that hints at its concentration and richness. The nose is layered and captivating, with crushed black cherries, cassis, blackcurrant, warm nuts, chocolate, graphite, liquorice, and crushed stones, lifted by floral notes of wildflowers and rose. The palate is full-bodied and densely textured, yet remarkably refined. Ripe black fruit sits at the core, carried by ultra-fine tannins and a structure that feels both firm and weightless. Notes of bitter chocolate, subtle toast, spice, and a saline mineral thread carry through to a very long, vibrant finish. This is a wine with serious aging potential and should develop beautifully for many years, especially in double magnum.

Production
Clos l'Eglise is located in Pomerol, one of Bordeaux’s most celebrated appellations, known for its iron-rich soils and small, carefully tended vineyards. The estate’s terroir contributes both power and elegance, with Merlot providing plush fruit and Cabernet Franc adding lift, structure, and aromatic detail. While specific vinification details are not provided, the polished texture and precise balance suggest meticulous harvesting and winemaking aimed at preserving purity, concentration, and finesse.

Food & Serving
This is a wine for rich, flavourful dishes such as roast lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, game birds, truffle pasta, or mushroom-based dishes. It also pairs beautifully with mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant if drinking young to allow the aromatics and structure to open fully; older bottles may need only gentle aeration.
