Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (93)

Offering up aromas of sweet cherries, berries, spices and new oak, the 2022 Clos l'Eglise is medium to full-bodied, broad and layered, with a velvety attack that segues into a vibrant, rather structured mid-palate, concluding with youthfully firm tannins. Incorporating fully 30% Cabernet Franc this year, this is a strong effort, albeit a touch on the liberally extracted side for such a concentrated vintage.

James Suckling (95)

Excellent depth and complexity here with a savory, meaty element on top of the mass of dark fruit, graphite and grilled herbs. A subtle touch of fish broth makes it more attractive. Well-structured but precise and fine in terms of tannin texture, this has medium to full body and a plump, consolidated finish.

Vinous (95)

The 2022 Clos L'Eglise Is quite the powerhouse. It offers up copious inky dark fruit, bittersweet chocolate, new leather and licorice. The richness of the year is very much in evidence in this full-throttle, opulent Pomerol. Of all of Garcin's wines, Clos L'Eglise is the most marked by the conditions of the growing season. Although not a shy wine, the 2022 has a lot to offer, including its notable immediacy.

Jeb Dunnuck (97)

Another beautifully textured, ripe, sexy wine from the Gracin family, the 2022 Clos L'Eglise comes from deeper clay soils on the upper plateau in Pomerol. Blue fruits, ripe black raspberries, leafy tobacco, chocolate, and truffly earth notes all shine here, and this beauty is full-bodied and has a layered, plush, sexy style that's already hard to resist. Nevertheless, it will evolve for 25+ years if well stored.
