Château L'Eglise-Clinet

Denis Durantou took over from Pierre Laserres in 1983 after finishing his oenology degree at Bordeaux University. The estate amounts to some 5.5 hectares and the soils are noticeably high in iron. Old vines that survived the devastating frost of 1956 provide low yields of quality grapes that regularly produce one of the very best wines in Pomerol. Denis also makes a range of wines from Lalande de Pomerol and Saint-Emilion, all of superb quality.
