Situated on the famed plateau of Pomerol, the beautiful L`Evangile 2018 is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Offering up an intense nose revealing stone fruit aromas with light vanilla and roasted notes. Full-bodied and generous on the palate with elegant tannins, culminating in a silky, smooth finish.
95 The Wine Independent
L’Evangile 2018 is deep garnet purple in color. It features notes of crushed rocks, pencil shavings, and tree bark, with a core of boysenberries and Morello cherries. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is firm and grainy, with muscular fruit and great length. Lisa Perrotti-Brown9th February 2023

The 2018 L’Evangile is the vintage when Cabernet Franc (20%) returned to the blend after mildew reduced the percentage of Merlot. It has an almost identical bouquet to the one that I encountered from barrel, that attractive mélange of black fruit, briar and a lovely marine/oyster shell scent now accentuated in bottle. As I mentioned in my previous note, the Cabernet Franc shapes the aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, the 70% new oak still quite vocal and, to my mind, dictating the finish, rather than L’Evangile’s exceptional terroir. There is a slight concluding bitterness that nags away on the very briny aftertaste. With aging I am certain this Pomerol will improve, but it just misses the charm of other vintages at the moment.Neal Martin21st March 2021
