The Story
One of Pomerol's most prestigious estates, Château L'Évangile is owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite). It reveals captivating aromas of black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, truffle, graphite, dark chocolate, and cedar. Richly concentrated yet impeccably refined, it delivers velvety tannins, remarkable freshness, exceptional precision, and an extraordinarily long finish.
Food Pairing: Pair with beef Wellington, Wagyu steak, roast lamb, duck breast, venison, black truffle dishes, wild mushrooms, aged Comté, or braised short ribs.
Wine Spectator
Superb aromas of blackberry, blueberry, violets and citrus peel. Some oyster shell and dark chocolate. Full body, dense and powerful with chewy tannins and lots of rich fruit at the finish. Turns to walnut and dark berry. I love the texture and richness. A wine to follow for your lifetime. Just opening a little now.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet in color, the 2010 L'Evangile strides confidently out of the glass with notes of chocolate-covered cherries, vanilla pod, sweaty leather and baked plums plus hints of tobacco leaf and cinnamon stick. Full-bodied, the generously fruited palate has a lovely, plush frame with oodles of freshness and a spicy kick to the finish.
