Southeast of the Pomerol plateau stands the famous Château L'Évangile, sitting on a long stretch of gravel, a geological situation Rare and unusual for the appellation. Its history dates back to the 18th century, when it was run by the Léglise family.
It was finally christened L'Evangile in the 19th century. It wasn't until 1990 that it came under the Domaines Baron de Rothschild banner, managing Château Lafite Rothschild to Pauillac. New restructurings were then undertaken, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, having since given birth to a remarkable series of vintages.
The Château L'Évangile is based on a 22-hectare vineyard planted on sandy-clay soils containing pure gravel, resting on a subsoil of iron crasse conferring a sumptuous minerality to the wines. The grape varieties are 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet franc. The wines are aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 70% of which are new.
The estate produces a Second wine, Blason de L'Evangile, crafted with equal care and precision.
The Château L'Évangile embodies the very best of Pomerol, producing wines that combine power and finesse. They offer beautiful aromatic brilliance, great depth and elegance.
A year of ideal conditions. Thanks to a mild winter, the vine's vegetative cycle got off to a normal start in early April. Spring was pleasant, with mild temperatures and little rain. Flowering was rapid and uniform, presaging a fine harvest. Summer was magnificent, with well above-average temperatures in July and light showers at opportune moments, allowing the vines to blossom fully. August was very hot, followed by a fine September. The rain, which arrived just before the harvest, enabled the grapes to reach perfect ripeness, making this an exceptional vintage.
Dense, deep color with violet highlights. Very expressive nose of black fruits with subtle notes of toast. The attack is powerful, dense and structured. Full-bodied on the palate, with a well-balanced tannic structure. The finish is voluminous, with ripe tannins, and delicate thanks to the quality of the grapes from this exceptional vintage.
