Tasting notes

All of the Cabernet Franc was frosted in 2017, so L'Evangile is composed of 100% Merlot for the first time. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 L'Evangile is a little closed to begin, offering glimpses at blueberry preserves, baked plums and black raspberries scents before revealing nuances of spice cake, cinnamon stick, dusty soil and garrigue plus a waft of incense. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a lot of richness and depth, with firm, ripe, rounded tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy.

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.
