Phil,
No TN's on the Chateau L'Eglise Montagne '02, but it is a ~US$15/btl. from the
satellite AC of the better known St Emilion. The usual base in this region is
Merlot, with CS, CF and Malbec rounding out the blend. I cannot find any
references to what one would expect from this wine, but would guess that it
would express black berry fruit, maybe some mint/eucalyptus, cedar, and
possibly chocolate (based on other Pomerol and St Emilion Merlot based Bdx
blends). Even for a lesser St Emilion, I'd think that it could stand a bit
more time in cellar, but that is ONLY a guess. Maybe someone else has some
direct info for you.
