L`Evangile 2020

Château L`Evangile 2020 is a Right Bank Bordeaux produced by the leading Pomerol property of Château L`Evangile. The wines of the property are made by the team of First Growth Château Lafite. The 2020 Grand Vin was matured in 60% new oak, with the remaining 40% raised in a combination of used wood and amphorae. "The 2020 L`Evangile was picked quite early, as the estate`s rather young vines were suffering in the dry conditions, and the decision appears to have been judicious, as the wine has turned out very well. Wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, plums, vine smoke and violets, it`s medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered, with velvety tannins and an elegant, harmonious profile that avoids any excess."
