The 2015 Clos l'Eglise has retained a very intense bouquet with scents of blackberry, wild strawberry, briary and just a touch of cassis in the background. It is very well defined although backward. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin. This is a Pomerol with substance and presence, perhaps one of the most like its neighbor L’Eglise Clinet in terms of backbone and longevity. There is wonderful salinity toward the finish with residues of white pepper and even a slight garrigue note that lingers in the mouth. Superb, but it will need 5 or 6 years in bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2023 - 2045. - erobertparker.com, Feb 2018 

Offers a delicious core of plum, raspberry and cherry preserve notes, backed by flavors of apple wood and licorice that still need to integrate fully. A solid wine in the making.

The jewel in the crown of Hélène Garcin-Lévêque's portfolio, Clos l'Eglise is in the heart of the Pomerol 'plateau' and sports a higher-than-average planting of Cabernet Franc. Dark, savoury, tight. Soft, supple mouthfeel with firm structure, really pretty fruit, excellent freshness and vibrancy. Lots of red cherry and raspberry layers. (80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc.)

A soft and fruity red with walnut, plum and earth aromas and flavors. Full to medium body, clean finish. Refined and pretty.

The 2015 Clos L'Eglise is soft, fruity and open-knit, all qualities that are best enjoyed sooner rather than later. There is good depth and energy, but at the same time, the fruit is a bit dried out, while the oak is intrusive. It will be interesting to see if the 2015 finds a bit better balance over the next few years. This is a solid effort, but, frankly, I expected more excitement and personality here. - vinous.com, February 2018
