Petite Eglise 2022 – Pomerol (Famille Durantou)
Made by the family of the late Denis Durantou - one of Pomerol’s most admired winemakers - Petite Eglise is far more than a “second wine.” The 2022 vintage shows remarkable depth, purity, and finesse, offering a beautifully accessible expression of the L’Eglise-Clinet style at a far friendlier price.
The nose is plush and inviting, with aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, violet, and subtle cocoa. On the palate, the wine is sleek and polished—medium to full bodied with fine, silky tannins and a core of pure, dark fruit. A gentle mineral edge and fresh acidity keep everything lifted, leading to a long, elegant finish.
Grape varieties: Primarily Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc
Style: Elegant, refined, fruit-driven Pomerol
Drink window: 2026–2038
Perfect for: Roast meats, duck, mushroom dishes, or enjoying alongside top Right Bank Bordeaux without the First-Growth price
Graceful, aromatic, and beautifully made - Petite Eglise 2022 is a standout in its own right and a superb glimpse into the style of one of Pomerol’s great estates.
