    • Description

      Evangile has some of the same iron-clay soils as Pétrus, but also 25% gravel. The Cabernet Franc buttresses the ripe, late-harvested Merlot. The wine is super-ripe, the palate dense and powerful. The tannins, not acidity, give texture and bite. The wine is muscular but not on steroids; it is in proportion.

    Chateau l'Evangile

    L'évangile has existed since the mid-18th century; however it didn't receive its name until it acquired new owners in the early 1800s, and has since become one of a mighty handful of pomerol's most famous names. It was purchased by the ducasse family in 1862, and achieved inconsistent success in their hands until 1990, at which point the formidable madame ducasse sold part of the property (the rest followed in 1995) to the rothschilds.
