Château du Domaine de l'Eglise 2016 (750 ml)

95 - 96 poena - James Suckling

Château du Domaine de l’Église 2016, napravljen pretežno od Merlota (96%) uz mali dodatak Cabernet Franca (4%), utjelovljuje eleganciju Pomerola koja s godinama postaje sve izraženija. Na nosu se suptilno javlja tartuf koji se prožima sa slatkim, zrelim voćem, nagovještavajući razvijanje složenosti. Na nepcu otkriva srednje puno tijelo sa sočnom jezgrom, obilježenu svijetlim crvenim i tamnim bobicama, notama začinjene šljive i zemljanim tonovima, omekšanim svilenkastim, fino zrnatim taninima. Ukupan utisak je sklad i profinjenost – vino koje je već sada pristupačno, a ipak dovoljno strukturirano da će nagraditi one koji mu pruže još malo vremena u podrumu.

95 - 96 points - James Suckling 

Château du Domaine de l’Église 2016, crafted predominantly from Merlot (96%) with a dash of Cabernet Franc (4%), embodies Pomerol elegance with increasing grace as it evolves. On the nose, there’s a subtle emergence of truffle weaving through sweet, ripe fruit, hinting at developing complexity. The palate reveals a medium-bodied, succulent core, marked by bright red and dark berries, spiced plum nuances, and earthy undertones softened by silky, fine-grained tannins. The overall impression is one of harmony and finesse—approachable yet refined, with just enough structure to suggest it will continue to reward those with a little patience.
