    On retrouve la notion de fraîcheur, le flirt avec le végétal, mais le végétal mûre, celui que l’on aime bien ! Le fruit est plus axé vers des baies noires comparés au Blason. Ainsi, le bouquet révèle des nuances de menthe et de réglisse complétées par des notes de myrtilles. En bouche le vin se distingue par son élégance, sa précision, sa fraîcheur. Il est élancé, mais bien structuré et tenu par des tannins précis, vigoureux et de pair avec la structure acide. Cela se termine par une finale salivante, de bonne persistance et le vin a de bien belles années devant lui (et nous aussi !). 2027-2048. Décembre 2023.

    Couleur sombre, intense, aux reflets noirs. Nez très aromatique, fin, fruité, frais. Touche rare de violette. Nuances de mûres. Moelleux en entrée de bouche, particulièrement savoureux au milieu, le vin avance en fondant avec du goût et une tannicité présente, mais enrobée. Jolie longueur aux nuances aromatiques complexes. Une grande réussite. Il s'agit du premier millésime de Juliette Coudert. L'élevage a changé : diminution de la proportion de bois neuf, deux soutirages au lieu de quatre et surtout jamais autant de cabernet franc depuis le début des années 1990 (30 %). Enfin il s'agit du premier millésime certifié bio. A consommer de préférence entre 2029 et 2045. Février 2024.

    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
    Unfurling in the glass with aromas of dark cherries and berries mingled with notions of licorice, black truffle, rose petal and iris, the 2021 L'Evangile is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping, with a broad and textural attack that segues into a charming, succulent mid-palate framed by sweet, powdery tannins. This saw only two rackings, and some 15% matured in amphora, with the rest in barriques that are less toasty than in the past; the result of these and other initiatives is a much more timeless expression of this property. Bottled in May 2023. Drinking window: 2027 - 2045. William Kelley. February 2024.

Superb bouquet marked by spices and small black fruits. Beautiful aromatic freshness.

A surprising, finely chiselled floral attack, quickly developing into a remarkable density, supported by a silky tannic structure, offering harmony in keeping with a refined, stylish wine.

Château l'Evangile

Château l'Evangile

Located on rare earth to the south-east of the Pomerol plateau and forming a long stretch of gravel, Château L'Evangile was acquired in 1990 by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite). The 22 ha vineyard is planted with the two grape varieties Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Franc (20%) grown organically since 2018.
