TASTING NOTES:


Wine Rating: RP 98 points
Drink by: 2010 - 2035

This is an absolutely spectacular L’Evangile. It remains to be seen whether 2009 will eclipse this great effort. Largely a Merlot-dominated blend with some Cabernet Franc in it, the greatness of this terroir is exhibited in the complexity of the nose, which offers up hints of subtle chocolate, blueberry, blackberry, truffle, barbecue smoke, and graphite.
Dense, rich, and full-bodied, with opulence and succulence that are prodigious, the tannins are present but extremely sweet, and the wine multi-dimensional and just emerging as a compellingly complex, head-turning beauty. Drink it now and over the next 20-25 years. Kudos to L’Evangile.

The Léglise family from Libourne founded the property that was to become Château L’Évangile. At the turn of the 19th century, it was sold to a lawyer named Isambert and renamed the estate “L’Évangile”. In 1862, L’Évangile was purchased by Paul Chaperon, whose descendants, the Ducasse family, remained the property’s owners until 1990. In 1868, L’Évangile is listed as a “Premier Cru du Haut-Pomerol”.

In 1990, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) acquired L’Évangile from the Ducasse family with a view to ensuring that the property was looked after to the same high standard. Efforts were undertaken to improve the vineyard including the renovation of the vat room and the cellar which was completed in 2004 resulting in the property's new configuration.
