A fresh Pomerol red wine with a beautiful aromatic palette

The estate

Located in the heart of Pomerol, Clos L’Église was recognized as one of the most extensive vineyards during the 18th century. Purchased in 1997 by Sylviane Garcin Cathiard, sister of Daniel Cathiard, owner of Smith Haut-Lafitte, the estate is now under the direction of Hélène Garcin Cathiard and Patrice Lévêque.

The vineyard

This Pomerol estate oversees a vineyard with an area of 5.89 hectares on a clay-gravel soil.

Vinification and aging

Harvested by hand, the grapes undergo vinification in stainless steel tanks. The aging process lasts 18 to 24 months in French oak barrels.

Blend

Clos l’Église is a blend of merlot and cabernet franc.
