Tasting notes

An astonishing effort from the Rothschild family, the 2009 l’Evangile may be the reference point offering from this estate for decades to come. A blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc aged in 100% new oak, with 15% natural alcohol, it exhibits a sumptuous bouquet of caramels, black raspberry liqueur, blackberries, violets, graphite and truffles. Thick, viscous flavors are reminiscent of such super-ripe vintages as 1982, 1959, 1949 and 1947. The striking aromatics, massive, full-bodied mouthfeel and multilayered palate that resembles a skyscraper in the mouth offer an abject lesson in great winemaking, extraordinary terroir, and the ability to combine power with precision, elegance and freshness. This is unquestionably a huge wine, but it also possesses mindboggling complexity and finesse. Because of its sheer extract and velvety personality, it will be drinkable in 4-5 years, and will keep for four decades or more where well-stored. The most profound L’Evangile ever made?

About this wine

Château L'Evangile is a renowned wine producer located in the Pomerol appellation of Bordeaux, France. With a rich history dating back to the 18th century, the estate is known for producing wines that are both powerful and elegant, with the ability to age for decades. The vineyards of Château L'Evangile cover 22 hectares and are planted with a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. The soil is composed of a mixture of gravel, clay, and sand, which provides excellent drainage and allows the vines to produce grapes with great concentration and complexity.

The winemaking process at Château L'Evangile is a combination of traditional and modern techniques. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted before being fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 18-20 months, with 80% new oak and 20% one-year-old oak.

The resulting wine is a deep, rich, and complex red with aromas of black fruit, spice, and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. Château L'Evangile is a renowned producer of fine wines that are sure to delight any connoisseur.
