You'd probably drive past it if you didn't have prior knowledge of its vinous output. There's no ostentatious gateway nor sweeping gravel drive. ### \#\#\# About the producer While the property has been in the Durantou family for generations, Denis’s grandparents were not interested in managing the property and from 1941 up until 1983 it was leased out to and managed by nearby Ch. Clos René. Read more ### \#\#\# In the wineyard The plot of Château L'Eglise-Clinet is just 4.5 hectares with typical production of around 1,000-1,500 cases per year. A lengthy replanting programme has taken place since Denis Durantou took over in 1983. Vines grafted on unsuitable rootstocks have been ripped out in favour of better selections with around 8,000 vines occupying each of Château L'Eglise-Clinet's hectares. This is Pomerol so Merlot is king, representing approximately 85% of the blend with Cabernet Franc completing the picture. A good proportion of the Cabernet Franc in the blend is from very old vines that survived the great frost of 1956, with the oldest vines dating back to 1935. 25% of Château L'Eglise-Clinet's vines are older than 75 years of age. ### \#\#\# In the winery While Denis Durantou overhauled the vineyard, tradition is still favoured in the winery. The new millennium ushered stainless steel into the vat room but he has not followed trends nor fads. He has however, upped the new oak since his arrival. Drink Château L'Eglise-Clinet from the 1980s or early 1990s, and there is as little as 30% new oak. Today, maturation takes place in oak barrels of which 80% is new, adding even more refinement to the nuanced, rich Pomerol fruit. La Petite Eglise is not a second wine in its true sense: it is neither a barrel selection nor a creation of younger vines. Instead, it is a separate site planted on lighter sandy soils giving a lighter, earlier drinking style. ## Filter Refine Export Showing 7 results Card View Showing 7 results - [**2021 l'Eglise Clinet**](https://www.vinfolio.com/product/612ec2800100000000057175/2021-l-eglise-clinet-l-eglise-clinet) Red · [l'Eglise Clinet](https://www.vinfolio.com/producer/612ec28006000000000010b8/l-eglise-clinet) · Pomerol · Still wine · 95/100 1x750ml From Supplier · Pre-arrival (6) · Estimated arrival: 6-12 weeks $279.00 From Supplier · Pre-arrival (6) · Estimated arrival: 6-12 weeks Quantity 1 bottle Quantity Add - [**2020 l'Eglise Clinet**](https://www.vinfolio.com/product/612ec2800100000000052292/2020-l-eglise-clinet-l-eglise-clinet) Red · [l'Eglise Clinet](https://www.vinfolio.com/producer/612ec28006000000000010b8/l-eglise-clinet) · Pomerol · Still wine · 98/100 1x750ml From Supplier · Pre-arrival (>50) · Estimated arrival: 6-12 weeks $354.00 From Supplier · Pre-arrival (>50) · Estimated arrival: 6-12 weeks Quantity 1 bottle Quantity Add - [**2018 Château l'Église-Clinet**](https://www.vinfolio.com/product/67f9463668f9c0f62e0144e7/2018-chateau-leglise-clinet-chateau-leglise-clinet) Red · [l'Eglise Clinet](https://www.vinfolio.com/producer/612ec28006000000000010b8/l-eglise-clinet) · Pomerol · Still wine 1x750ml From Stock · Available now (5) · This product is now at Vinfolio $338.00 From Stock · Available now (5) · This product is now at Vinfolio Quantity 1 bottle Quantity Add - [**2016 l'Eglise Clinet**](https://www.vinfolio.com/product/612ec280010000000003bd8c/2016-l-eglise-clinet-l-eglise-clinet) Red · [l'Eglise Clinet](https://www.vinfolio.com/producer/612ec28006000000000010b8/l-eglise-clinet) · Pomerol · Still wine · 98/100 1x750ml From Supplier · Pre-arrival (1) · Estimated arrival: 6-12 weeks $398.00 From Supplier · Pre-arrival (1) · Estimated arrival: 6-12 weeks Quantity 1 bottle Quantity Add - [**2012 l'Eglise Clinet**](https://www.vinfolio.com/product/612ec280010000000000a883/2012-l-eglise-clinet-l-eglise-clinet) Red · [l'Eglise Clinet](https://www.vinfolio.com/producer/612ec28006000000000010b8/l-eglise-clinet) · Pomerol · Still wine · 96/100 1x750ml From Supplier · Pre-arrival (6) · Estimated arrival: 6-12 weeks $305.00 From Supplier · Pre-arrival (6) · Estimated arrival: 6-12 weeks Quantity 1 bottle Quantity Add - [**2005 l'Église-Clinet La Petite l'Eglise**](https://www.vinfolio.com/product/67f9562910526c3c2dcbd948/2005-leglise-clinet-la-petite-leglise-chateau-leglise-clinet) Red · [l'Eglise Clinet](https://www.vinfolio.com/producer/612ec28006000000000010b8/l-eglise-clinet) · Pomerol · Still wine 1x750ml From Stock · Available now (2) · This product is now at Vinfolio $142.00 From Stock · Available now (2) · This product is now at Vinfolio Quantity 1 bottle Quantity Add - [**1986 Château l'Église-Clinet**](https://www.vinfolio.com/product/67f9463668f9c0f62e0144ef/1986-chateau-leglise-clinet-chateau-leglise-clinet) Red · [l'Eglise Clinet](https://www.vinfolio.com/producer/612ec28006000000000010b8/l-eglise-clinet) · Pomerol · Still wine · 91/100 1x750ml From Stock · Available now (2) · This product is now at Vinfolio $204.00 From Stock · Available now (2) · This product is now at Vinfolio Quantity 1 bottle Quantity Add
