Blason de L’Évangile – Pomerol – Red – 2016 – 1500 ml:

 

The Blason de L’Évangile is a sophisticated Second Wine from the celebrated Château L’Évangile in Pomerol, part of the prestigious Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) portfolio. It represents an earlier-drinking, yet equally elegant, version of the Grand Vin, showcasing the exceptional quality of the estate’s Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier’s View)

Expect a wine with a deep, dark garnet colour. The nose is intense and generous, featuring a core of concentrated blackberry and ripe plum fruit, layered with subtle notes of spicy oak, cocoa, and a touch of clove. It’s a beautifully polished and expressive bouquet.

• Palate: Full and opulent, the wine offers a supple and voluptuous mouthfeel, typical of high-quality Pomerol.
• Structure: Fine, silky tannins provide a graceful framework, ensuring the wine is both powerful and charming, even in its younger years.
• Finish: Lengthy and refined, leaving a lasting impression of dark fruit and elegant spice.

Food & Serving Suggestions

This wine is an excellent accompaniment to classic British roasts and rich game dishes. Serve at 16-17°C (60-63°F). Decanting for 60 minutes is highly recommended to enhance its elegance.
