Domaine de l´Eglise 2022

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Black cherry liqueur, plums, blue fruits, chocolate and violets show in the nose. On the palate, the wine is refined, silky, fresh, lively, lush and long. The silky chocolate-coated-plums, are elegant, fresh and earthy. The end notes combine freshness and finesse in the long finish. The wine blends 98% Merlot with 2% Cabernet Franc. 14.5% ABV. Drink from 2025-2045."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: „The 2022 du Domaine de L'Eglise, 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, is deep garnet-purple in color. It skips out with bright, carefree notes of crushed red and black plums, black raspberries, and Morello cherries with suggestions of cracked black pepper and wilted roses plus a waft of star anise. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and seductive, with velvety tannins and impressive tension to frame the generous fruit, finishing with a lively lift."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Plenty of ripe fruit with hints of dried fruit and some lemon peel. It's full-bodied with lots of juicy fruit. Wait and see."

WEINWISSER: "98 % Merlot, 2 % Cabernet Franc. Intensives blaubeeriges Bouquet, Lakritze und Holundersaft. Am molligen Gaumen mit cremiger Textur, herrlicher Extraktfülle, engmaschigem Tanningerüst und mittlerem Körper. Im geradlinigen, straffen Finale verschlankt sich der Pomerol, dunkler Graphit und feinmürbe Adstringenz, aufgerundet. 2029 – 2045."

VINUM: "Die leichte Reduktion und Ausbauprägung im Muster tun ihm keinen Abbruch, im Mund dicht, voll, aber auch sehnig und lang, Tannin mit Schliff; stilvoll und sich selber treu."
