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 18 months in barrels containing 70% new oak, this wine, which features Merlot and Cabernet Franc, seduces with its depth, aromatic complexity and soft, almost velvety texture. A beautiful tautness is present throughout, making it very persistent.

Vintage 2024 blend: 80% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Wine Advocate: “The 2024 L’Evangile has turned out beautifully, reflecting this estate’s recent evolution (refining barrel choices and integrating foudre into the cellar) and its comparatively young vineyard’s propensity to perform well in years with minimal hydric stress. Offering up aromas of cassis and blackberries mingled with notions of violets and black tea, it’s medium to full-bodied, lively and layered, with a velvety attack, good depth at the core and a persistent finish. ”
