Critic Scores

99 // James Suckling

"Wow. This is really something for the vintage. Such a long finish, while being subtle and sophisticated with wonderfully silky tannins that are so fine and very long. It's medium-bodied with a beautiful, compact palate from the beginning to the end, including the mid-palate. The finish shows walnut, hazelnut and dark-chocolate character. Exceptional. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. - James Suckling"

97 // Yves Beck

"The bouquet reveals itself with great finesse, subtlety, and depth. It shines with its discretion or its delicate side, but is nevertheless more positive. The graphite side, comparable to a form of reduction, sustains the bouquet, while blackberry and elderberry notes confirm the fruity character, followed by a floral touch. On the palate, the wine reveals itself like the bouquet: gradually. Compact and held by fine-grained tannins, it is somewhat charming, elegant, straightforward, and long-lasting. The bitter notes, together with the acid structure, provide freshness and length. An elegant wine that unfolds smoothly and offers a glimpse of finesse. 2029-2049 - Yves Beck"

97 // Alexandre Ma

"This year, Château l’Évangile extended its maceration time to 28-29 days, a bold decision I deeply admire. Roundness has always been at the heart of Évangile’s style, and even in a rainy, cooler vintage like 2024, its softness remains untouched. In a vintage where aromatics tend to stay restrained, this wine manages to unfold remarkable layers: the creamy sweetness of blueberry, the savory edge of preserved plum, and the gentle warmth of clove and tsaoko all rise and fall with perfect control. Compared to the exuberance of warmer years, I find its elegance in 2024 even more compelling. The texture is as smooth as light cream, and once it melts, there’s even a refined touch of salinity. This, to me, is exactly what Château l’Évangile should be. - Alexandre Ma"

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.
