Description

In Pomerol, and under the watchful eye of Saskia de Rothschild, Château L’Evangile crafts an excellent cellaring wine from hand-harvested grapes and plot-by-plot vinification in cement vats of various sizes. Aged for 18 months in barrels whose proportion of new wood amounts to 70%, this wine, which is predominately made from Merlot (between 80% and 90%) and Cabernet Franc, charms everyone with its depth, aromatic complexity and soft, almost velvety texture. A beautiful tautness is present throughout, making it very persistent.

Wine Advocate : “Wafting from the glass with deep aromas of dark berries, spices, licorice and petals, framed by a sweet patina of new oak, the 2023 L’Evangile is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a textural attack that segues into a supple, integrated core that’s framed by sweet, powdery tannins. It’s a blend of 78% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, checking in at 13.5% alcohol, that was harvested between September 4 and 28.”
