Château l’Évangile boasts a rich history dating all the way back to 1741, making it one of the oldest properties in Pomerol. Its ascent to prominence can be largely attributed to the dedicated efforts of the Ducasse family, who owned the estate until 1999, when it was acquired by the proprietors of Château Lafite-Rothschild. Over the past decade, there has been a remarkable enhancement in consistency and quality, now delivering some of the finest wines in its long history. This particular release hails from the exceptional 1989 vintage, characterized by a hot and dry summer that facilitated an early harvest, making it a standout year for Bordeaux.

Vinous
The 1989 L'Evangile is one of my favorite vintages from this era, just prior to its acquisition by the Rothschild family. This bottle is superb. Red fruit, terracotta and black truffles billow from the glass. The faintest hints of aniseed emerge with time. There is a warmth about the palate that is very appealing, with melted tannins, satisfying depth and grip. Satin-textured on the finish, this Pomerol is at its peak. Tasted at the Lia's Wings Charity Dinner at Medlar, London.Neal Martin2nd July 2024
