CRITIC REVIEWS
Jancis Robinson
Tasted blind. Dark, blackish crimson. Heady and complete on the nose – lots of pleasure! Very sweet start – almost too much. And there’s no shortage of alcohol. But it certainly delivers. Very intense.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown
The 2015 LEvangile is composed of 84% Merlot and 16% Cabernet Franc and was matured for 18 months in new oak barrels from Tonnellerie des Domaines (their own cooperage). Deep garnet-purple in color, it absolutely leaps from the glass with complex, gregarious notes of blackberry pie, plum preserves, smoked meats/charcuterie, mocha and licorice plus suggestions of cloves, black soil and unsmoked cigars. Full-bodied, rich, opulent and jaw-droppingly sexy, it has beautifully plush yet firm tannins with a lively backbone and a very long, spicy finish.
