Château L’Église Clinet
“One more example of Pomerol’s deceptively simple facade. The château is decidedly low-key, an attractive farmhouse built in 1850 which does its best to hide behind a row of tightly-pruned plane trees. Indeed, the entire estate is nothing to look at, but the wines made here are magnificent, and I would rank them right at the top of the appellation.
This profile examines the workings of this leading Pomerol domaine, with a focus on the man who was for many years the driving force here, the late Denis Durantou (1957 – 2020), in modern times two of his daughters Noëmie and Constance, who are now running the domaine, and of course their magnificent wines. But first, a little history, beginning with the Rouchut family.” – Website
