Clos L’Eglise is a 45-acre estate in the Pomerol appellation in the Bordeaux region of France. Pomerol is an unclassified appellation. The estate was established in the 18th century and like many wine estates in the area, it takes part of its name from the district’s large church, or l’eglise. The estate has changed hands numerous times over the centuries, but in 1997 it was acquired by Sylvanie Garcin-Cathiard, part of the family that owns Smith-Haut-Lafite and Barde-Haut. Vineyards are planted to 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. About 15,000 bottles of Clos L’Eglise are produced annually. The second label is Esprit de L’Eglise. Robert M. Parker has written that since the late 1990s when the new owners brought in consultant Michel Rolland to guide the winemaking, “the result has been a succession of brilliant wines.”
