Note di degustazione
The intensity of the Grand Vin at Evangile instantly reveals itself; with the sweet fruit complemented by earthy minerality. There’s a typically Pomerol plushness to the mid-palate, with impressive density of fruit and a full, round mouth-feel. It’s textured with fine yet firm tannins and a long, saline finish. Aged in 15% foudre, 50% new oak, 8% amphora and the rest in used barrels. Blend: 78% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon

A brilliant, ripe, textured Pomerol, the 2023 Château L'Evangile offers a deep-hued, intense perfume of red, blue, and black fruits intermixed with sappy flowers, chocolate, and tobacco. Based on 78% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged 18 months in new oak barrels, it's incredibly refined on the palate, medium to full-bodied, with ultra-fine tannins, stunning purity, and a great finish. It might be playing it a little safe, but it's nevertheless a remarkable wine. Give bottles 4-5 years and enjoy over the following 30 years or so. Drink 2029-2054.
The 2023 L'Évangile is a very fine effort for a property that is mostly planted with young vines. Ample and exuberant, the 2023 races across the palate with succulent red/purplish fruit, blood orange, mint, pomegranate, mocha and dried flowers. Today the 2023 is still quite fruity. It will need the better part of a decade to develop aromatic complexity and help the tannins soften. This is a fine effort from the team led by Technical Director Juliette Couderc.
The 2023 L'Évangile has an outstanding nose with copious black fruit, blood orange, hints of espresso and Italian mixed herbs unfolding in the glass. Very precise, and the oak is seamlessly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a keen line of acidity, harmonious and beautifully poised towards the finish that fans out with real panache. Wonderful. So great to see this Pomerol has its mojo back.
