Chateau L’Evangile, Pomerol 2021

L'Evangile

Case Format: 3x75cl

Max score: 97.0

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.

The Grand Vin 2021 Château LEvangile includes more Cabernet Franc and is 69% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, brought up in 50% new French oak, with 15% amphora. Beautiful blue fruits, violets, chocolate, and some gravelly earth define the bouquet and while its a medium-bodied, more mid-weight LEvangile, it has a wonderful purity of fruit, ripe, present, silky tannins, outstanding balance, and a great finish. Its another vibrant, elegant, seamless Pomerol that will drink nicely with just short-term cellaring yet have 20 years of prime drinking.

The move towards more elegance and finesse confirmed. Floral violet notes. Crunchy fruit and tannins that provide length and persistence. Lovely texture with freshness as well. Harmonious. (JL)
