Château L'Évangile – Pomerol – Red – 2016 – 1500 ml:

 

Château L’Évangile: A Right Bank Icon of Pomerol

Positioned on one of Bordeaux’s most coveted gravel plateaus, Château L’Évangile is a profound expression of the Pomerol appellation. This distinguished estate, which neighbours both Pétrus and Cheval Blanc, is celebrated for crafting a ‘Grand Vin’ that marries power with an extraordinary, velvety texture.

Managed by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) since 1990, L’Évangile represents the pinnacle of Right Bank elegance. The dominant Merlot component provides its signature opulence, while Cabernet Franc ensures structure and exceptional longevity, making it a stellar addition to any collection.

Expert Tasting Profile

• Color: Profound, deep garnet hue.
• Aromas: An intense and layered bouquet of dark cherry, ripe plum, forest floor, and the signature Pomerol notes of black truffle and cigar box spice.
• Mouthfeel: Sumptuous, full-bodied, and remarkably smooth. The tannins are impeccably refined-‘silky’ is the defining term-providing a powerful backbone that promises decades of graceful evolution.

Food Pairing & Serving Suggestions

To honor its complexity, serve this wine at 16-18°C (61-64°F). Decanting for a minimum of two hours is highly recommended.

• Recommended Dishes: Roasted Venison Loin with Redcurrant Sauce, classic Beef Wellington with mushroom duxelles, or a mature, powerful Stilton cheese.
