Blason de L'Évangile (2nd Vin) 2023 75cl

The esteemed Château L’Évangile produces an impressively deep, structured and powerful example of Pomerol wine. Located on the southeast corner of the Pomerol plateau, the estate’s 22-hectares of vineyards are planted amongst the rarest gravelly topped sandy clay soils. With a history dating back to the mid-1700s, the château is one of the oldest vineyards in the appellation. Passing through the hands of several owners, L’Évangile is currently under the ownership of the Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite). The Rothschild family acquired the winery in 1990 from the Ducasse family, and has promised to preserve L’Évangile’s superior reputation. Over the past couple decades, the family has increased efforts in the vineyard’s management, and completed a thorough renovation of the château’s vat room and cellar. Under the Rothschild family’s leadership, the château has also created a second wine, Blason de L'Évangile which is an approachable red made in a similar character as the Grand Vin. While, Château L'Évangile the Grand Vin is traditionally vinified, it shows a dense and sturdy base of tannins with evident oak that is harmoniously integrated.
