Château L’Eglise-Client in Pomerol has some of the region’s oldest vines, with some vines dating back 100 years. The 11.2-acre estate also has in the last 25 years produced some of the Pomerol’s most acclaimed wines. The family run enterprise dates to the 18th century, and it is currently run by Denis Durantou, great-great grandson of the man who originally acquired the plots of land that now make up the vineyards. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that “one cannot applaud the effort of Denis Durantou enough.” About 85 % of the land is planted to Merlot, with 15 % in Cabernet Franc. Annually 12,000 to 15,000 bottles of Château L’Eglise-Clinet are produced. There is no classification of wines in Pomerol.
