CHATEAU L'EVANGILE, 2006

POMEROL

" The seductive 2006 L’Évangile, with its deep ruby color and purple highlights, reached a natural alcohol level of 14%, as high as the estate’s greatest vintages. Generous aromas of black raspberry and black cherry mix with sweet plums, fig notes, and spring flowers, bursting from the glass. This wine is medium to full-bodied, fleshy, supple, and silky. Enjoy now or cellar for 15 to 20 years. " - 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.
