{"product_id":"chateau-l-eglise-clinet-pomerol-2008","title":"Château L'Église-Clinet Pomerol 2008","description":"\u003cp\u003eDenis Durantou, who passed away in 2020 after nearly four decades building L'Église-Clinet into one of Pomerol's most celebrated estates, was described by Robert Parker as \"a winemaker's winemaker.\" He inherited a property with dirt floors, old unclean vats, and no temperature control in the early 1980s, and transformed it into a wine regularly mentioned alongside Pétrus and Lafleur. Today his daughters Noëmie and Constance run the 5.5-hectare estate, honoring his legacy. The 2008 was one of the undersung gems of that vintage, with Vinous, Wine Advocate, and Decanter all awarding 95 points. The blend of 85% Merlot and 15% old-vine Cabernet Franc delivers the opulent, concentrated, aromatic style that defines this address: dark plums, iron, spice, and a silky, endlessly layered texture. Now well into its drinking window and incredibly priced. Grab it while it's here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First Bottle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53448125120809,"sku":"1014989","price":189.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/2706\/8457\/files\/ChateauLEglise-ClinetPomerol2008_1014989_FB_Rack.jpg?v=1789702530","url":"https:\/\/firstbottlewines.com\/products\/chateau-l-eglise-clinet-pomerol-2008","provider":"First Bottle Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
