Thirty years on, this is a Pomerol at full maturity — the kind of bottle you open with a meal and a couple of patient friends. Domaine de l'Église is one of the oldest estates in Pomerol (dating to 1589) and sits in the literal shadow of the village church. The Castéja family acquired it in the early 1970s and the wine is still distributed by their négociant house, Borie-Manoux. The vineyard is Merlot-dominant (with a small splash of Cabernet Franc) on Pomerol's signature clay-and-gravel. 1995 was a strong Right Bank vintage with structure to age — and three decades in, this is now drinking at peak, with the tertiary complexity that only mature Bordeaux can deliver.
