Description
Château L'Eglise Clinet has a long history in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux. It began to be built in 1803 when Jean Rouchut bought some of the vineyard lands that later became L'Eglise Clinet. The first section of vineyard land is located near where the winery stands today, adjacent to a cemetery. The next step was the development of the estate in 1882 when the family purchased vineyard land from the Constant family, the owners of the neighbouring estate, Domaine de Clinet. This additional land marked the official creation of Clos L'Eglise-Clinet.
