jebdunnuck.com, June 2020

(JD 96-98 points) A rocking bouquet of blue fruits, dark chocolate, damp earth, and violet emerges from the 2019 Château L'Evangile, a slightly fresher yet still deep, concentrated expression of this château...

Decanter, January 2022

A well-articulated wine with elegance and serious expression of place. The 16% Cabernet Franc (alongside 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, the first year in the blend) gives such an enticing nose, so perfumed - you really get a nose...

Pencil lead and graphite reduction on the first nose, with turmeric and white pepper spice. This is delicious, less effortlessly exuberant than it was En Primeur, when the backbone was hidden by baby fat, and the oak is...

Fruit-tea, blackberry, tile and ripe-fruit aromas follow through to a full body with density and richness. Chocolate and walnut. Dense and seamless with super fruit and length. Lots of fruit. Very polished. Stylized. All...

Wine Spectator, January 2022

Rich, with an exotic tilt to the loganberry, mulberry and fig preserve flavors. Really packed, delivering anise, black tea, singed mesquite, sweet tobacco and ganache accents that all play a part, while a racy cast iron...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, March 2022

Deep, dark, rich, and opulent, this flamboyant wine serves up an elixir packed with dark chocolate-covered cherries, plums, espresso, truffle, licorice, smoke and wet earth. Full-bodied, concentrated, dense and intense...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2022

The 2019 L'Evangile is very good, wafting from the glass with aromas of cherries, sweet berries, warm spices, violets and loamy soil, framed by a nicely integrated patina of new oak that reflects a concerted effort to...

Wine Enthusiast, October 2022

The wine from an estate owned by the Rothschild family of Château Lafite-Rothschild, has great ripeness with elegant black fruits and succulence, rich and dense. It has beautiful black, spicy fruits. Young, it is packed...

Vinous, February 2023

The 2019 L'Évangile is tasted from two bottles, the first hideously corked. The second has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry and truffle. A welcome briny note becomes more pronounced with aeration...

Introducing the 2019 L'Evangile, a Bordeaux Blend from the esteemed Pomerol region of Bordeaux, France. This wine embodies elegance, sophistication, and a true expression of its terroir. With its deep, dark red color, it immediately captivates the eye, inviting you to indulge in its sensory pleasures.

On the nose, the 2019 L'Evangile reveals a symphony of aromas. Fruit-tea, blackberry, and tile notes intertwine to create a captivating bouquet. Ripe-fruit aromas add depth and complexity, while hints of chocolate and walnut add a touch of indulgence. This wine exudes density and richness, with a seamless and velvety texture that caresses the palate.

The palate is a revelation of flavors. Layers of blackcurrant, red and black cherries, plums, and liquorice dance on the tongue. Spice nuances of cedar and cinnamon add an exotic touch. The 16% Cabernet Franc, alongside 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, brings an enticing nose full of flowers, adding a perfumed quality to the wine. The succulent acidity provides freshness and balance, while the opulence throughout reflects the wine's sophistication.

Critics are raving about the 2019 L'Evangile. Renowned wine critic James Suckling awards it an impressive 96 points, praising its super fruit and length. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awards it 94 points, describing it as broad, textural, and richly layered. Decanter gives it a stellar 97 points, commending its elegance and serious expression of place.

This wine is a true gem that demands patience. It is recommended to cellar it for at least five to seven years to allow it to fully open. However, for those unable to wait, it can be enjoyed after 2026. Whether sipped on its own or paired with a delectable meal, the 2019 L'Evangile promises to elevate any occasion with its exceptional quality and undeniable allure.
