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." Wine Advocate, 2023
The 2020 L`Évangile, the maiden vintage under the new team, is matured in 60% new oak and 40% mixture of used wood and amphora. It has an expressive, mineral-driven bouquet that open nicely with aeration, light floral touches, incense and potpourri emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, lovely balance and very intense. This is not a powerful Pomerol, not one of huge dimension and muscle, yet there is a multi-layered finish of black fruit that lingers long in the mouth. One for laying down for a decade. Very impressive. - Neil Martin
