Second label of Chateau l'Evangile
Expert tasting note: (2023 vintage) "Deep, dark, virtually opaque purple-black color. Aromas are of rich, ripe black-cherries & black-doris plums. The palate is lovely & open with smooth, velvety-textured black-plum fruit. Smooth tannins add a chocolatey smoothness to the texture. The medium-bodied wine has balanced alcohol & lively acidity. The warm, ripe finish displays fresh, juicy black-plum fruit." - 04/24 (ep) DCAMW

- Producer Notes
- Blason de L’Evangile is selected from the same vats that are used to make the Grand Vin. It has characteristics similar to the Grand Vin, but less potential for ageing as it is matured in barrels for a shorter period of time. It should be drunk younger than its more robust counterpart.

Through a mystery of geology, the southeast Pomerol plateau features a long line of surface gravel. Three vineyards, including L’Évangile, share this rare soil. The property occupies a very strategic position. It is bordered to the north by Château Pétrus, and is separated from Cheval Blanc in Saint-Emilion to the south by nothing more than a secondary road. The vineyard covers 22 hectares, made up of sandy clay soil with pure gravel, on a subsoil containing iron residues. The grape varieties consist of Merlot (80%) which contributes to the wine’s fruity flavour and body, and its unmistakable suppleness; and “Bouchet”, the local name for Cabernet Franc (20%), which brings finesse and structure. Traditional techniques are used. Production is limited and the harvests are carried out by hand, as are numerous other tasks in the vineyard throughout the year.

Traditional and modern winemaking methods are closely associated in all of the winery’s operations. Fermentation in vats is carried out using the traditional method of pumping over and controlled maceration, with frequent tasting.
