    • Description

    The 2007 Clos l'Église from Pomerol is a wine that demonstrates the estate’s dedication to crafting elegant and refined wines, even in a vintage that posed challenges. Known for its rich, opulent style, Clos l'Église consistently delivers wines that highlight the plush texture and complexity characteristic of Pomerol's clay-rich terroir.

    Wine Overview
    The 2007 Clos l'Église is made from the estate’s typical blend:

    Merlot (dominant): Contributing lush fruit flavors, softness, and roundness.
    Cabernet Franc: Adding structure, aromatic complexity, and subtle spice.
    Vintage Characteristics
    The 2007 vintage in Bordeaux was marked by a cool and wet summer, followed by a warm and sunny September that allowed for improved ripening. While the vintage generally produced lighter wines, Pomerol fared better than other appellations, thanks to Merlot’s earlier ripening. Careful vineyard management and strict selection ensured that estates like Clos l'Église produced wines of quality and elegance.

    Tasting Notes
    Appearance: Ruby red with garnet highlights, showing some development.
    Aroma: A delicate bouquet of red cherries, plums, and raspberries, layered with earthy notes of cedar, forest floor, and tobacco. Subtle hints of truffle, cocoa, and dried herbs add complexity.
    Palate: Medium-bodied with silky tannins and bright acidity. Flavors of redcurrants, blackberries, and figs are complemented by savory elements like graphite, spice, and a touch of minerality. The wine is well-balanced and approachable, with a smooth texture.
    Finish: Medium-length, with lingering notes of fruit, spice, and earthy undertones.
    Drinking Window
    As of 2025, the 2007 Clos l'Église is fully mature and at its peak. It offers an enjoyable drinking experience with a harmonious balance of fruit and tertiary flavors. This wine is best consumed soon, as further aging is unlikely to improve its qualities.

    Food Pairing
    The elegance and refinement of the 2007 Clos l'Église pair well with:

    Roast chicken or pork with herbs and garlic.
    Duck confit or seared duck breast with a berry glaze.
    Mushroom dishes, such as wild mushroom risotto or truffle-infused pasta.
    Aged cheeses like Gruyère, Comté, or Manchego.
    Serving Recommendations
    Decanting: Decant for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the wine to breathe and open up its aromas.
    Serving Temperature: Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) to fully appreciate its nuanced flavors.
    Conclusion
    The 2007 Clos l'Église is a charming and refined Pomerol, offering elegance and balance. While it reflects the lighter style of the vintage, it showcases the estate’s ability to produce wines with complexity and finesse.
