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 has a riper nose than the Clos l'Eglise: blackberry, wild strawberry and floral notes of rose petal and iris flower. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, well balanced and fleshy, yet there is backbone here. Nicely focused and harmonious toward the finish, this is a lovely Pomerol that should age with style in bottle. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.Neal Martin12th November 2024

88% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. Dense and reserved but with a lift of chocolate and berry fruit as it opens. Generous fruit on the palate, the aromatic complexity more pronounced. Burgundian, berry-fruit nuance. Firmly muscular and tannic behind, the tannins solid but well honed. Slightly grippy finish which could be the oak needing to settle. (JL)
