Chateau Leglise Clinet 2010

Description

Tasted at the property, the L’Eglise-Clinet 2010 was absolutely stunning from barrel and in bottle, Denis Durantou’s tour de force does not disappoint. It is imbued with an effortless quality on the nose briary, raspberry preserve, crushed stone and just a hint of cassis. It is a linear nose – not extravagant or powerful – but very expressive of its terroir. The palate is medium-bodied with unbelievable intensity not concentration on the entry, the flavours almost regimented in their precision fresh strawberry, raspberry, a hint of graphite and a touch of orange peel. It is so fresh, so animated and energetic that you want to keep taking sip after sip. This is a monumental L’Eglise-Clinet – quite profound. Tasted November 2012. – Neil Martin, The Wine Advocate
