CHATEAU L'EVANGILE, 2005
POMEROL
" The 2005 L’Évangile unveils a magnificent bouquet of aromas composed of spring flowers, black raspberries, licorice, truffle, and graphite. This wine is full-bodied and rich, yet still young and closed, with smooth tannins and a long, layered, and ample palate. This dazzling wine has the potential to age for another two to three decades. The greatest L’Évangile since 1982, and a precursor to the heroic duo of 2009 and 2010? Best enjoyed between 2015 and 2045. " - 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.
