Château du Domaine de l'Eglise 2021

A fresh, blue-fruited nose with plums, violets, raw mushrooms and wet soil. Structured yet delicate at the same time. Medium-bodied, with refined, silky tannins. Lingering and supple. It’s 100% merlot for the first time. Drink from 2027.

Black cherries, plums, strawberries, chocolate, and plums form the core of the wine on the nose and on the palate. Medium-bodied, fresh, soft, round, and fruity, there is a dusty, chalky edge on the finish. It is interesting to note that with the 2021 vintage, the wine is produced from 100% Merlot. Drink from 2024–2038.

This 2021 confirms the château’s good form.

Pure fruit on the nose, with delectable fur-like, sanguine notes reminiscent of the noblest pomerols. The wine is energizing on the palate, linear and cool, with concentrated, mouthwatering fruit.

Dark, beautiful color. Intense nose with ripe fruit and a slightly sanguine note. On the palate, the absence of Cabernet suits this profile perfectly: pure voluptuousness. Very long, sappy finish with a melting, supple body. 100% Merlot. Alcohol: 14% – pH: 3.6. Yield: 42 hl/ha.

100% Merlot this year, Domaine de l’Église stands out for a certain opulence and expressive fruit, with a very appealing spicy touch. The palate is well-focused, built on fairly taut substance, dressed in supple tannins and a well-judged élevage. This is a very lovely Pomerol 2021.
