Clos l'Eglise 2020 Magnum

Clos l'Eglise 2020 Magnum is a remarkably refined Pomerol that combines concentration, power, and silky elegance in equal measure. Made from Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it reflects the classic depth of Bordeaux’s right bank while showing the poise and precision that have made Clos l’Eglise such a respected name in the appellation. Already being compared to the estate’s standout 2009 and 2016 vintages, this is a wine with genuine historical significance for the property.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Clos l'Eglise 2020 presents a deep, dark color that hints at its ripe, concentrated core. The bouquet is layered and captivating, with crushed black cherries, cassis, blackcurrant, warm nuts, chocolate, graphite, liquorice, crushed stone, and lifted floral notes of wild flowers and rose. The palate is full-bodied yet weightless in feel, with ultra-fine tannins supporting a dense core of black fruit, bitter chocolate, subtle toast, spice, and a distinct mineral, slightly saline finish. The texture is plush but never heavy, and the balance of richness, freshness, and precision suggests outstanding aging potential over the coming decades.

Production
Clos l'Eglise sits in Pomerol on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, where the iron-rich soils and gravelly-clay terroir are well suited to Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The 2020 vintage benefited from a warm, ripe growing season that delivered concentrated fruit with excellent freshness. Vinification appears to have been geared toward preserving purity and finesse, producing a wine with layered complexity, polished tannins, and a long, mineral-driven finish.

Food & Serving
This is a superb match for elegant, flavorful dishes such as duck breast, beef tenderloin, roast lamb, veal, truffle risotto, or dishes with wild mushrooms and fine sauces. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting is recommended if drinking young to allow the wine to open fully and reveal its aromatic detail and silky structure.
