Description
EN PRIMEUR DISCOUNT VALID UNTIL 31/12/2025 - DELIVERY SPRING 2026
A gem of a Pomerol from Chateau l'Évangile. This winery was one of the first to own a vineyard on the famous Pomerol plateau. The ancient estate became part of Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) in 1990 who wanted to ensure that the chateau was maintained to the same high standards as those of DBR. The initial influence of DBR (Lafite) included a more refined selection of the Grand Vin and the making of Blason de L'Évangile as a second wine. Much work was also done to improve the vineyard. The wines from this winery are described as full and elegant with an incomparable finesse!
Chateau l'Évangile has a vinification method where tradition and modern techniques go hand in hand. In 2004, the barrel room and cellars were completely rebuilt to make them better suited for plot selection. The grapes from each plot are kept separate in batches in order to assess the potential at the end of fermentation per batch. Traditional and modern methods are also closely linked in winemaking. The fermentation in barrels is carried out using the traditional method of pumping over and controlled maceration, with frequent tasting. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is aged for another 18 months in 70% new oak barrels. Average annual production of this wine is between 2,000 and 3,000 bottles. From the 2018 vintage, the Chateau l'Evangile Pomerol was certified organic for the first time.
This beautiful wine is deep garnet purple in color with beautiful shimmers of violet. The nose is very intense with some earthy notes and truly lush scents of ripe black cherries, dried mulberries, plums and blueberries with light vanilla and roasted notes and a hint of chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, the taste is delicious, full and generous, concentrated with a long aftertaste. Grape varieties: 78% merlot, 21% cabernet franc and 1% cabernet sauvignon

The winemaker recommends decanting this wine (at least 2 hours) and provides the following guidelines regarding the question: " How long should an old vintage be decanted?" Contrary to popular belief, decanting is mainly required for young wines. These need to be opened to express their full flavor. The time required varies between 2 and 24 hours depending on the wine and vintage year, as wines with strong tannins generally require more time. Old vintages do not need to be decanted for a long time, the bottle can be opened 1 to 2 hours before tasting. At Lafite, the cellar master always carries out a double decanting of red wines.
FACT: In the 'Attachments' tab you will find the official fact sheet of this beautiful wine and a number of beautiful photos. We will send this to you automatically when you order this wine. The wine is stored in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and when you pick up the wine you will often receive a nice discount .

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.

A fine line of tannins runs through this medium- to full-bodied wine. Chocolate, walnut and lead pencil on very fine tannins. Classy and focused, providing elegance with strength. Tight at the end. 78% merlot, 21% cabernet franc and 1% cabernet sauvignon.

From: Thrice Is Nice: Bordeaux 2020 in Bottle (Feb 2023)
The 2020 L'Évangile, the maiden vintage under the new team, is matured in 60% new oak and 40% mixture of used wood and amphora. It has an expressive, mineral-driven bouquet that open nicely with aeration, light floral touches, incense and potpourri emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, lovely balance and very intense. This is not a powerful Pomerol, not one of huge dimension and muscle, yet there is a multi-layered finish of black fruit that lingers long in the mouth. One for laying down for a decade. Very impressive.

From: Bordeaux 2020: Saving the Best for Last (Feb 2023)
The 2020 L'Évangile is gorgeous. Rich, creamy and expansive in feel, the 2020 is a wine of succulence and textural richness. Black cherry, mocha, espresso, cloves, leather and licorice all meld together. Malolactic fermentation in barrel helps give L’Évangile its sumptuous, creamy personality. The 2020 spent 15 months in barrel, 50% new, with 10% of the wine aged in amphora. The 2020 is a gorgeous wine that is also a wine of transition, as so many things are being looked at with a fresh eye at the estate these days.

Chateau l'Évangile is a Bordeaux house located on the very famous Pomerol plateau. The winery owned one of the first vineyards of the Pomerol. The Château L'Évangile estate was founded by the Léglise family from Libourne. They were actively involved in the construction of the vineyards of Pomerol in the middle of the 18th century. L'Évangile appeared in the 1741 register under the name of Fazilleau.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the estate was already close to its current state, with an area of about 13 hectares, when it was sold to a lawyer named Isambert. This lawyer named the estate "L'Évangile". The estate was purchased in 1862 by Paul Chaperon. His descendants, the Ducasse family, remained the owners of the estate until 1990. Paul Chaperon continued to build the estate's reputation and built the residence of L'Évangile in the style of the Second Empire. In the second edition of Cocks Féret in 1868, L'Évangile is listed as a "Premier Cru du Haut-Pomerol".
After the death of Paul Chaperon in 1900, the estate was run by his descendants. In 1957, Louis Ducasse took over the estate, which had fallen into disrepair at the time and was also damaged by the frost in 1956. He managed to replant the vineyard and eventually restore it to its former glory. In 1982, his widow Simone Ducasse continued to manage the estate.
In 1990, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) acquired the L'Évangile estate from the Ducasse family. They wanted to ensure that the property was maintained to the same high standards as DBR's. The initial influence of DBR (Lafite) included a more refined selection of the Grand Vin and the creation of Blason de L'Évangile as a second wine. Much work was also done to improve the vineyard with a restoration and (partial) renewal plan launched in 1998. The complete renovation of the barrel room and cellar, which was completed in 2004, completed the new state of the property.
The vintages from 1995 to 2005 were a very remarkable decade and crowned the successful work. The vintages 1995, 1996, 2000 and especially 2005 were judged to be truly exceptional!
Chateau l'Évangile has a vinification method where tradition and modern techniques go hand in hand. In 2004, the barrel room and cellars were completely rebuilt to make them more suitable for plot selection. The grapes from each plot are kept separate in batches in order to assess their potential for use in the Grand Vin at the end of fermentation. Traditional and modern winemaking methods are closely linked in all activities of the winery. The fermentation in barrels is carried out using the traditional method of pumping over and controlled maceration, with frequent tasting. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is aged for 18 months in oak barrels.
A strict selection is carried out in the production of Château L'Évangile and the second wine, Blason de L'Évangile. The average production of Château L'Évangile and its second wine Blason de L'Évangile is 5,000 cases.
