Château L'Evangile

Pomerol AOP

Unter den wachsamen Augen von Saskia de Rothschild vinifiziert Château L'Évangile diesen Vorzeige-Pomerol Parzelle für Parzelle in Zementfässern. Danach reift er über 18 Monate in Fässern mit 70 % Neuholzanteil. Merlot dominiert mit 82 % und verschmilzt mit Anteilen von Cabernet Franc und einem Hauch Cabernet Sauvignon zu wunderbar aromatischer Komplexität. Samtig in der Textur, enorme Tiefe, klar und strukturiert. 95 - 97 Parker-Punkte!

Fresh, wonderfully refined and gorgeously polished and long, with very fine tannins. Medium to full body. Crunchy fruit and chocolate, hazelnut and spice. Exciting to see how this tensioned beauty will evolve. Wonderful clarity.

Given the young average age of this estate's vineyards, its well-draining soils and the extreme vintage, I was a little apprehensive; but the technical team evidently took the conditions in their stride, harvesting the east-facing side of the vines (which sees the hottest afternoon sun) four days earlier. The resulting 2022 L'Evangile is beautiful, offering up aromas of raspberries, vine smoke, black truffles, violets and gravely soil. Medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety, it's seamless and polished, with a bright core of fruit and powdery tannins that temper 2022's inherent sweetness of fruit to sophisticated effect. At this early stage, it appears that the estate's progress with regards to élevage continues too, as Evangile's creamy oak signature is much released, allowing the fruit—and this superb terroir—to take center stage. It's a blend of 82% Merlot, 17.5% Cabernet Franc and 0.5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
