Mission Codename Évocateur

“I have long been a huge fan of Hélène Garcin-Lévêque’s Clos l’Eglise.” – Robert Parker

Here’s something you don’t see every day. In fact, hardly ever!

HALF OFF a Cult Pomerol putting it all the way down to $85? When it’s $100-175+ elsewhere?!

Absolutely STACKED with scores (there’s even more than we listed here) - from critics and fans alike. Just check out the Cellartracker reviews and try to contain your salivation.

“Absolutely massive wine” “concentrated, opulent and velvety” “will age effortlessly for 3 decades”

Sarah Wong of Decanter and Post Magazine says “Husband and wife-run winery tops illustrious Bordeaux neighbours for value… As a rule, wines from Pomerol are expensive, with bottles from Petrus and Le Pin fetching stratospheric prices at auction. Clos L’Église, in contrast, offers excellent value for such quality, and the wines are a perfect expression of Pomerol, displaying great purity and elegance.”

As in “excellent value” at the FULL $175. At our secret price today, it’s an opportunity like no other.

Just look at those scores! Not much available though, c’est la vie!

96 Points – James Suckling

“Fantastic depth of fruit to this young wine with crushed-berry, tile and stone character. A round-textured and layered young Pomerol with berry, plum, chocolate and hazelnut aromas and flavors. Full-bodied with superb structure. Polished yet intense tannins. Powerful finish. Best ever? Plush and luscious on so many levels. Try after 2026, when it tightens up.”

95 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

“The 2018 Clos l’Eglise is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes bounding out of the glass with energetic scents of Morello cherries, fresh black plums, boysenberries and lavender, plus underlying nuances of crushed rocks, woodsmoke and black truffles. The full-bodied palate is packed with perfumed black fruit, supported by ripe, velvety tannins and tons of freshness, finishing on a lingering fragrant earth note. Drink 2024-2049.”

95 Points – Antonio Galloni’s Vinous

“The 2018 Clos L’Eglise is dense and powerful to the core. The tannins are equally forbidding, suggesting the 2018 is going to need a number of years to be at its best. Heat and mildew resulted in an unusually deep Clos L’Eglise. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, licorice, spice and gravel open with a bit of coaxing. Readers have to be patient here. Drink 2028-2043.”
