An iconic estate of Pomerol, rooted in an exceptional terroir since the 18th century, where the art of the vine is passed down with exacting standards.
- Terroir: Gravelly and clay soils of Pomerol, lending the wines a mineral depth and velvety elegance.
- Vinification: A precise blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, patiently aged to reveal the purity of the fruit and the complexity of the terroir.
Tasting notes for Château L'Évangile 1996
To the eye: A deep ruby robe with purple hues, of silky density and crystalline brilliance.
On the nose: A generous bouquet blending wild blackberry, candied black cherry, a hint of black tea and a subtle touch of graphite, carried by a mineral freshness.
On the palate: An unctuous and fleshy texture, supported by a lively acidity and tannins still present but well-integrated, giving way to a long, saline finish marked by notes of dark fruits and soft spices.
Serve at 16–18°C in a Bordeaux glass to reveal its full complexity.
