Beschrijving
A fascinating exercise in terroir, as this shows the same alcohol as the Blason, but the density, fruit character and even the IPT (tannin) count are very different. You see the impact of clay soils in the building of the powerful architecture and the plush damson and black cherry fruits. There is density but tenderness to the tannins, with grilled caramel that gives a beautiful Pomerol signature. Violet floral edging arrives towards the finish, as things open up, and this is an impressive L’Evangile that can age with ease. 42hl/h yield, a record in recent years here. Certified organic since 2021. Great stuff from technical director Juliette Couderc | Jane Anson | 2024 | 96
Druiven: 78% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon
Château l’Èvangile is gelegen in Pomerol. Het is ontstaan in de 18e eeuw, tot 1990 is het altijd in handen geweest van de Léglise familie. Vanaf 1990 is het echter eigendom van de befaamde Domaine Baron de Rotschild, eigenaar van onder andere Château Lafite Rotschild. In de 22 hectare wijngaarden staan Merlot (80%) en Cabernet Franc (20%) aangeplant. De grand vin rijpt gedurende 18 maanden in Frans eiken vaten die zijn opgeslagen in een in 2004 volledig gereviseerde kelder. Tweede wijn: Blason de l’Évangile.
