Over het wijnhuis | Château du Domaine de l'Église werd voor het eerst genoemd in 1589 in de “Vieux Papiers du Libournais” en maakt Château du Domaine de l'Église het oudste landgoed van Pomerol. Het dankt zijn naam aan de kerk, waar het landgoed praktisch naast ligt, vlakbij Petrus. Inmiddels is het in handen van de familie Casteja, die meer op hun naam hebben staan, zoals Château Trotte Vieille in Saint-Émilion en Château Batailley in Pauillac. |

Awards | "The 2016 Domaine de l'Eglise is a blend of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc picked on 28 September and 13 October respectively at 40 hectoliters per hectare. There is plenty of ripeness on the nose, a little more exotic than previous vintages with kirsch infusing the red berry fruit, crème de cassis developing in the glass. The oak here is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin on the entry, nicely balanced with good substance, building nicely in the mouth. It might just miss the finesse of some of its neighbors, but the clay lends this Pomerol much more substance than the Castèja family's other property La Croix du Casse. The persistence here is very long and powerful." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "The 2016 Domaine de l’Eglise offers a mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, accompanied by traces of cedar, sage and light undergrowth aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, and quite structured for a Domaine de l’Eglise, leading to a grippy, lightly spiced but fresh finish. It needs three or four years in bottle, but there is good potential." - Vinous "This has range, with toasted cedar, cinnamon, black tea and anise aromatics leading the way for dark plum, boysenberry and açaí berry pâte de fruit flavors. Shows oaky notes on the slightly grainy finish, but the fruit just about keeps pace. Best from 2022 through 2032. 2,000 cases made." - Wine Spectator |
