2015 Clos l’Eglise, Pomerol (6 x Bottle)
Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Clos l'Eglise has a very earthy nose of black soil, truffles and mossy bark over a core of kirsch, blackberry preserves and dried mulberries with wafts of rose hips and oolong tea. Full-bodied, richly fruited and packed with savory layers, it has a firm frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and earthy.

The Clos L’Eglise is the best of Hélène Garcin’s 2015s. There is good depth and persistence here, although like all the other wines, the style is decidedly delicate and understated, especially for the year. Dark red stone fruits, licorice, leather and smoke add subtle nuances of complexity. The 2015 offer good freshness and purity, although it is a bit light. Clos L’Eglise is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, picked on September 8 and September 14/15 respectively.

The 2015 Clos L’Eglise is soft, fruity and open-knit, all qualities that are best enjoyed sooner rather than later. There is good depth and energy, but at the same time, the fruit is a bit dried out, while the oak is intrusive. It will be interesting to see if the 2015 finds a bit better balance over the next few years. This is a solid effort, but, frankly, I expected more excitement and personality here.

The 2015 Clos l’Eglise needs encouragement on the nose. Initially surprisingly taciturn, it reveals well-defined blackberry, raspberry, leather and truffle scents. The palate is silky smooth with fine delineation, quite poised with dark chocolate and espresso complementing the lush red fruit. There is gentle grip towards the finish that gains length, though never achieves the heights of the following vintage. Still, this is going to give a lot of pleasure over the next 10-15 years. Tasted at the Clos l’Eglise vertical.
