2025 Château l'Evangile, Pomerol

2025 Château l'Evangile, Pomerol

A blend of 86% merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a classic Pomerol with rich, dark spiced fruits. There is flesh with with a well-defined and sculpted profile with refreshing lift of floral notes. Fragrant and quite finessed, there is tension and some drama here. A little drop of hedonism on the finish, there is something quite charming to this modern Evangile that has plenty of life to it.

Tasting notes

The 2025 L'Évangile has been given new impetus by winemaker Juliette Couderc. It is initially backward, but it really comes forth with a few swirls of the glass: black cherries, mint and juniper berries, just a hint of truffle, quite vibrant and vivacious. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins, a fine bead of acidity, superb minéralité, as if there were a bit of limestone soil, but there is none. Very saline on the aftertaste with impressive length. This is a marvellous L'Évangile given the growing season, and it seems imbued with so much personality.
