Chateau L’Evangile, Pomerol 2016

L'Evangile

Case Format: 1x150cl

Max score: 99.0

Château l’Évangile is a wellknown winery in the Pomerol appellation of the Bordeaux region. Property of Domaine Baron de Rothschild this 22 hectares vineyard is mainly composed of Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Franc (20%). Here, terroir gives its best to offer the finest Merlot of Bordeaux region. Certified biodynamic as of the 2020 vintage under the viticultural lead of Juliette Couderc, there has been a subtle stylistic change to the wine. The estate has evolved into producing a more elegant claret by placing an emphasis on picking earlier to retain freshness, while using less new oak to enhance fruit purity.

Tasted blind. Dark blackish crimson. Toasty and ripe on the nose. Very sweet and luscious. Classic Pomerol. Slightly dry finish.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

The 2016 LEvangile is made from 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. It has a deep garnet-purple color and opens with notions of plum preserves, Black Forest cake, red cherry compote and black raspberries with touches of menthol, chocolate box, licorice and tobacco leaf. Medium to full-bodied, the palate features fantastically ripe, velvety tannins and beautiful freshness, lifting the generous, brightly fruited mid-palate and giving bags of energy to the very long-lingering, minerally finish.
