CHATEAU L'EVANGILE, 2003

POMEROL

" As a postscript, I want readers to know that tremendous investments and extraordinary efforts are being made both in the vineyard and in the winery at L’Évangile. I predict that one day this wine will rival Pétrus and Lafleur as one of the greatest wines of the appellation. The estate has also introduced a second wine called Blason, which allows them to set aside lots that do not meet the standards of the grand vin. " - Robert Parker

History and anecdotes

The Château l’Evangile history started in the middle of the 18th century, back then it was the Leglise family’s property. Château l’Evangile is located in the Pomerol plateau near Petrus and Château Cheval Blanc.

In 1868, the Cock Féret classification made it “Premier Cru of the Haut Pomerol”. In 1990, it belonged to Barons de Rothschild Lafite’s estates.

Éric de Rothschild, Saskia de Rothshild’s father, confessed to her he made two right decisions in his life: marrying her mother and buying L’Évangile.
