Château du Domaine de L'Eglise (Pomerol)
Ready to drink, this medium bodied wine kicks off with wet earth, thyme and cherry scents. Soft and easy to drink, the wine lacks some depth and character. Subsequent vintages are much better. 3,325 Views Tasted Aug 27, 2015 |
When to Drink Domaine de l'Eglise, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Domaine de l'Eglise can be enjoyed on the young side with decanting. Young vintages can be decanted for an average of 1 hour or so. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.
Domaine de l'Eglise is usually better with at least 3-5 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. Domaine de l'Eglise offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 4-15 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Domaine de l'Eglise with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
