Michael Broadbent

(09-1998)
Hardy Rodenstock was one of the first fully to appreciate the outstanding quality of a wine relatively unknown to the great wide world, and overshadowed by the likes of Pétrus and, more recently, Le Pin. The '81 was in a range of 15 vintages and demonstrated thet the leannes of the vintage seeped through to the Pomerols. Also like some other leading Pomerols not very interesting on the nose. Lots of grip. Hopefully a long life ahead.

Few media because of its production highly confidential, Chateau l'Eglise Clinet is nevertheless one of the best of the appellation Pomerol as well as Castle or Castle of the Gospel Conseillante. Ideally located on deep soil of the plateau of Pomerol, the vineyards of Chateau l'Eglise Clinet are rescued from Big Freeze of 1956, which led to the uprooting of most of the vines of the appellation. This small jewel of Pomerol, was operated by Pierre Lasserre also owner of Clos Rene Pomerol. In early 1980, the perfectionist Denis Durantou taken the lead six acres of vines (average 45 years). Chateau l'Eglise Clinet also produces a second wine called the Little Church.
