La Petite Eglise 2017 (750ML)

90-92 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate: "100% Merlot, the deep garnet-purple colored 2017 La Petite Eglise comes charging out of the glass with exuberant notes of crushed wild blueberries, vibrant cassis and violets with touches of fertile loam, garrigue and bay leaves. Medium-bodied with a wonderful energy of perfumed black fruits, it has a racy line and firm, fine-grained tannins, finishing long and fragrant." 4/18

90-93 Points, Antonio Galloni: "The 2017 La Petite Eglise is wonderfully aromatic and dense. Charcoal embers, game, smoke, licorice and raspberry jam all develop in the glass, but it is the wine's structural feel that stands out most. The 2017 is silky, nuanced and exceptionally beautiful. La Petite Eglise is of course the second wine of L'Eglise Clinet, but if it were taken out of that context, it would compete quite favorably with many Grand Vins." 5/18

90-91 Points, James Suckling: "An elegant second wine of L'Eglise Clinet with dark berries, spices and stones. Medium body and silky and polished tannins." 4/18
