2025, Château L'Évangile, POMEROL

86% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 1% Cabernet Sauvignon.

This château is situated in a prime position on the Pomerol plateau between Pétrus, La Conseillante and Cheval Blanc. The wines here are always smooth and seductive and are made by the team from Château Lafite. 

The aromas of blackberries, black olives and hints of tobacco and dried fruit are fascinating and enticing. It’s medium to full-bodied with creamy and polished tannins and a savoury finish. Turns refined and focused after the layered fruit. Classic in character, with a caressing texture and balance. Hints of ripe fruit and freshness at the same time.
97-98 James Suckling.

Damson colour, this has a ton of juicy blue and black fruits, well judged density, energy and lift, clear ageing ability, grilled cumin, peony, iris flowers and slate, 40% new oak, with large oak casks for almost half of the production. Less Cabernet Franc in this blend simply because of the size of the berries. The result is impressive. 2032-2050.
96 Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux.

The 2025 L'Évangile is a very beautiful wine. Silky and medium in body, the 2025 is a classic L'Évangile. Bright red-toned fruit, mocha and rose petal all grace the palate. Touches of blood orange and white pepper lift the brilliant finish. Élevage is 40% new oak, 40% foudre, 15% once-filled barrels and 5% amphora. This is a very precise wine and one of the top Pomerols of the year. 2035 - 2065
