Chateau L'Evangile, Pomerol

2012 Chateau L’Evangile, Pomerol 6x75cl

Chateau L'Evangile

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 94

Château l'Évangile is a wellknown winery in the Pomerol appellation of the Bordeaux region. Property of Domaine Baron de Rothschild this 22 hectares vineyard is mainly composed of Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Franc (20%). Here, terroir gives its best to offer the finest Merlot of Bordeaux region. Certified biodynamic as of the 2020 vintage under the viticultural lead of Juliette Couderc, there has been a subtle stylistic change to the wine. The estate has evolved into producing a more elegant claret by placing an emphasis on picking earlier to retain freshness, while using less new oak to enhance fruit purity.

CRITIC REVIEWS

Ian D'Agata

(93% merlot and 7% cabernet franc; 31 h/h; 73% grand vin): Very deep purple-ruby. Intense aromas of cassis, plum, bay leaf, minerals and aromatic herbs. Beautiful silky texture on entry, then wonderfully supple in the middle, with the blueberry and blackcurrant syrup flavors lingering impressively on the back end. Finishes with rising but smooth tannins and a trace of heat, but this is an extremely successful wine. The very old cabernet franc vines (now 46 years old) ripened well while all the young vines went into the second wine, Blason d'Evangile, which is sold to just three clients and therefore is no longer shown at the Primeurs.

This dark ruby/plum Pomerol offers up sweet black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, velvety tannin, medium to full body, and a nice lushness and silkiness. A beauty with great fragrance and suppleness, it's not enormously endowed, as a great vintage would be, but it is certainly an outstanding wine and a brilliant effort from 'Evangile in 2012. Drink it over the next 15 years.

Crimson - still bluer than La Conseillante. Buttery nose and very sweet. A little less luscious than some Pomerol 2012s with a still-dry finish. But all the ingredients are there for the future and it s already a convincing drink. (Much better bottle than the one tasted chez Farr.)
