FEATURES
🏰The 2022 Clos L'Eglise is a Pomerol of 【new-level quality, offering opulent concentration and remarkable freshness】 even in a hot, dry vintage. This blend, featuring a higher percentage of Cabernet Franc, boasts a deep garnet-purple color. Expect a floral nose with chocolate, plum, licorice, smoke, and truffle accents. The palate is deep, concentrated, and sexy, with molten dark chocolate-coated black plums, vibrant red berry fruit, rose petal, and a long, mineral-laced finish supported by very firm, ripe tannins.
🍴 This rich and structured Pomerol is an ideal partner for beef and venison. Its depth also complements classic meat dishes, roasted game, and dishes featuring truffles or dark chocolate elements.
🥂 A wine of character that will reward patience, making it excellent for cellaring. It's also suitable for a sophisticated dinner or a special occasion, though it will benefit from significant decanting in its youth.
Serving Suggestion: As a very young wine, decant for at least 2-3 hours to allow its powerful structure to soften and its complex aromas to unfold. Serve at 15.5°C (60°F).
