Note di degustazione
The 2023 Domaine de L'Eglise is powerful, dense and quite extroverted. Blackberry, gravel, incense, licorice and chocolate fill out the wine's broad, expansive frame. Readers should expect a big, virile wine in an especially ripe style. It's all there, though.

The 2023 Domaine de l'Église has a much better nose than the La Croix du Casse: more fruit for starters, black cherries and blueberry, nicely defined with a touch of incense. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannins, but here matched by black fruit laced with tobacco and black pepper. A bit rough-hewn on the finish, but otherwise a decent, old-school Pomerol.
Soft, lush, polished, silky, and refined, this elegantly styled Pomerol focuses you on its chocolate-covered plums, black cherries, and licorice character with ease. The wine is medium-bodied, vibrant, and refined. It is perfectly balanced between its sweetness, lift, and ripe pit fruits that show on the mid-palate, and in the finish. The wine blends 98% Merlot with 2% Cabernet Franc. 14.8% ABV.
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 du Domaine de L'Eglise needs a swirl or two to unlock notes of juicy plums, wild blueberries, and black raspberries followed by hints of licorice, tar, and cracked black pepper. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers velvety tannins and impressive tension to counter the generous black fruit flavors, finishing long and savory. The blend of 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc comes from 50-year+ vines on the Pomerol plateau.
