Château L'Évangile

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.

Description Château L'Évangile 2017.

Presenting a brilliant ruby-red color, the wine opens with complex scents of blackberry and violet. Hints of baking add depth to this sweet mix. On the palate, it's very tasty. Dense from the outset, it quickly evolves towards greater freshness and roundness. The tannins are refined and caressing, giving a pleasant sensation of suppleness. Intense aromas dominated by fresh fruit. The finish, explosive in flavor, leaves pleasant cocoa notes on the palate.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
