Between Pétrus and Cheval Blanc, elegance in its purest form.
A jewel of the Pomerol plateau
Château L’Évangile is among the greatest names on the right bank of Bordeaux. Nestled between two wine monuments – Pétrus to the north and Cheval Blanc to the south, it benefits from an exceptional terroir that only a few estates can claim.
Originating from soil rich in deep clays and fine gravel, L’Évangile offers a wine with a silky texture, remarkable aromatic depth, and an impressive aging potential.
A noble blend:
Merlot (70%) – the heart of the style, voluptuous flesh, and dense black fruit.
Cabernet Franc (30%) – floral touch, liveliness, and length.
The grape variety is adapted to the terroir and the desired style: a wine of great elegance, precise and structured.
The style of the wine
This is not a demonstrative Pomerol. L’Évangile plays the card of distinction. Upon opening, it charms with its notes of violet, truffle, blackberry, sometimes precious wood. On the palate: refinement, balance, and racy length.
Vintages to watch:
2009: grandiose, fleshy, ready to drink or to keep.
2015: purity of fruit, masterful balance.
2020: very promising, with rare intensity.
An engaged viticulture
Since 2021, the Château is certified in organic farming. Special attention is paid to biodiversity (installation of beehives, plant cover, plot-based approach), and a transition to biodynamics is underway.
High fashion winemaking
Parcel-based vinifications in thermoregulated concrete vats.
Aging for 18 months in French oak barrels, 70% of which are new.
A second wine, Blason de L’Évangile, is produced to offer a more immediate expression of the estate.
Why choose a bottle of Château L’Évangile?
For the purity of its style: never heavy, always just right.
For its qualitative proximity to the greatest of Pomerol, at a (still) affordable price.
For the reliable value it represents in the cellar as well as on the table.
Because it is sought after by enthusiasts worldwide, with limited production.
A high-class Pomerol to offer... or to keep preciously.
