Description
An elegant and complex red wine from Pomerol
The estate
Poised on the right bank of Bordeaux near the church of Pomerol, Château du Domaine de L'Église is one of the appellation’s oldest wineries.
The vineyard
Château du Domaine de L'Église 2021 is a Pomerol wine that stems from a 7-hectare vineyard located in the centre of the famous plateau of the appellation.
The vintage
A particularly wet winter preceded a spring marked by a major frost on the 7th and 8th of April, which had an impact on the vines, whose budbreak had begun on April 2nd. Although May was hot and dry, which aided the flowering period, conditions in June were cool and rainy. The estate's teams increased their efforts to preserve the vineyard’s healthy condition. The weather in July and August was variable and cool. The dampness at the beginning of September gave way to a pleasant month of October, during which the sunshine and low rainfall helped to refine the ripening process. Harvested at optimal ripeness, the Merlot grapes boast a very high quality.
Vinification and ageing
The wine is aged exclusively in barrels (60% new, 40% second fill barrels).
The blend
Merlot (100%).
