CLINET
Pomerol
Vinous.com/Antonio Galloni -
A dramatic, sweeping Pomerol, the 2015 Clinet
is ample, racy and voluptuous from the very first taste. Those
qualities are going to make the 2015 nearly impossible to resist young.
Readers who can wait will be rewarded with a racy, deeply layered
Pomerol of the highest level. For now, the raciness of the dark red
cherry and plum fruit suggests a very bright future. Hints of rose
petal, mint and licorice add the closing shades of nuance. What a
gorgeous wine this is. |

CLOS RENE
Pomerol
RP/Neal Martin -
A blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10%
Malbec, the 2015 Clos Rene has a perfumed raspberry preserve and crushed
strawberry-scented bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain
tannin, a mixture of red and black fruit with a very refined,
pastille-like, spicy finish. This is a lovely Pomerol to enjoy over
the next 10-15 years, certainly one of the best offerings from the
sandier soils on the western sector of the appellation. |

CLOS de L'EGLISE
Pomerol
Vinous.com/Neal Martin -
The 2010 Clos l’Eglise has a slightly reductive
nose that soon blows off to reveal ample red and black fruit melted tar
and black truffle scents. The palate is velvety smooth on the entry,
displaying a fine bead of acidity and supremely well-integrated oak.
This is a classy, seductive Pomerol that lingers long in the mouth.
Superb. |

L'EGLISE CLINET
Pomerol
Vinous.com/Neal Martin -
The 2016 L’Eglise-Clinet was matured in 80% new
oak and bottled in mid-April 2018. Crystal clear in colour, it has an
equally crystal clear bouquet that is utterly seductive, featuring red
cherries, wild strawberry, peony and iris flowers and a hint of bay
leaf. You could sit and nose this all day. The balanced palate is
medium-bodied and grippy in the mouth, displaying supple tannin and a
perfect line of acidity. Again, there is a symmetry about this
Pomerol that is utterly beguiling, and the persistence is up there with
the very best. Simply put, this is one of the best L’Eglise-Clinet
wines I have tasted in recent years. Stunning.

LE MANOIR DE GAY
Pomerol
This is the 2nd Wine
from
Chateau
Le Gay
RP/Neal Martin
-
The 2015 Manoir de Gay comes from 12-year-old
Merlot vines from Le Gay. It has a fresh and
vibrant, violet-scented bouquet that personally I
find preferable to the 2015 Montviel. The palate
is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, gentle
grip in the mouth, just a touch of spice here, but
good structured towards the finish - a hint of
truffle on the aftertaste. This is a commendable
deuxième vin.

LA PETITE-EGLISE
Pomerol
This is the 2nd Wine
from
Chateau
L'Eglise-Clinet
RP/Neal Martin
-
The 2015 La Petite Eglise is pure Merlot picked on
24 September at 41 hl/ha and matured in 45% new oak.
It has a vivacious, precocious bouquet for a
deuxième vin, kirsch and raspberry coulis, a touch
of orange blossom. It is not an exotic bouquet, but
it knows how to have fun. The palate is
medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, good depth
in the mouth, perhaps just a little pinched on the
finish at the moment, but it will have its fingers
pried open by the end of its élevage. As such,
give this a couple of years in bottle before
broaching.

This is the 2nd Wine
from
Chateau
L'Eglise-Clinet
RP/Neal Martin
-
The 2014 La Petite Eglise, pure Merlot picked on 3
October, is always a little gem and probably
deserves more respect from cognoscenti. It has a
gorgeously pure bouquet with ebullient red berry
fruit, perhaps showing now more blue fruit, since I
last tasted it. The palate is medium-bodied with
supple ripe tannin, pure red cherry and
strawberry coulis intermingled with cold stone and a
touch of blood orange. There is wonderful
precision on the finish. This is just superb and
doubtless great value.

ROUGET
Pomerol
RP/Antonio Galloni
-
The
2015 Rouget is a fabulous wine done in a forward,
voluptuous style that is sure to find many admirers.
Super-ripe dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, spice
and mocha fill out the wine's ample, soft-textured
frame effortlessly. Silky contours add to an
impression of flamboyant elegance. I would give the
2015 at least a few more years in bottle to allow
some of the elements to fuse together a bit more
fully. Time in the glass brings out very pretty
red-toned fruit and floral overtones. There is
certainly plenty to admire on this inviting,
impeccably balanced Pomerol.

TROTANOY
Pomerol
RP/Neal Martin
-
Tasted blind as a vintage comparison at the
Valandraud vertical, the 2008 Trotanoy has an
attractive bouquet with engaging clarity and purity:
raspberry preserve, wild strawberry, a trace of
something almost medicinal just below the surface.
The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and a
crisp line of acidity, subtle notes of cedar and tar
infusing the red berry fruit with a composed,
structured finish with plenty of freshness and
vigour. Classic in style, well crafted and sure
to give another two decades of pleasure, this is a
stupendous Trotanoy that is up there with the 2009
and 2010 . Yes, it's that good and in fact, it kept
on improving as it opened in the glass. Tasted
December 2016.
