JL 98

TheWineCellarInsider.com, April 2024

(JL 96-98 points) Violets, lilacs, chocolate, truffle, black cherries, smoke, licorice, and plums fill the nose. But, the magic is on the palate with its lush, supple, creamy, elegant textures, soft, polished tannins...

Decanter, April 2023

Fragrant redcurrant and cranberry. Milk chocolate, vanilla, creamy, fruity and fresh with cherry and plum fruit. Cool and crisp, so much freshness straight away and so sleek, the weight is there in the density of the ripe...

jamessuckling.com, April 2024

(JS 96-97 points) A fine line of tannins runs through this medium- to full-bodied wine. Chocolate, walnut and lead pencil on very fine tannins. Classy and focused, providing elegance with strength. Tight at the end. 78%...

janeanson.com, April 2024

A fascinating exercise in terroir, as this shows the same alcohol as the Blason, but the density, fruit character and even the IPT (tannin) count are very different. You see the impact of clay soils in the building of the...

Vinous, April 2024

(VN 94-96 points) The 2023 L'Évangile was picked from September 4 to 28 at 42hL/ha, which is the highest for many years. Matured in 50% new oak (including 15 foudres) and 8% in amphoras (my sample only from used...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2024

(WA 93-95 points) Wafting from the glass with deep aromas of dark berries, spices, licorice and petals, framed by a sweet patina of new oak, the 2023 L'Evangile is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a textural...

The Wine Independent, April 2024

(TWI 93-95 points) A blend of 78% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2023 L’Evangile has a pH of 3.7. It is deep garnet-purple in color and on the nose oaky overtones soon give way to a core of...

The 2023 L'Evangile, a Bordeaux Blend from the renowned region of Pomerol, France, is a wine that exudes class and sophistication. This red wine, a blend of 78% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, showcases the sublime balance and harmony that the finest Bordeaux blends are celebrated for.

The color of the wine is a deep garnet-purple, a tantalizing hint at the complexity and depth waiting within. On the nose, this wine presents a symphony of aromas - the sweet patina of new oak is the first to greet you, followed by a rich medley of dark berries, spices, and licorice. The subtle whisper of petals adds an unexpected but delightful floral note.

On tasting, the wine reveals a fine line of tannins that run through its medium to full-bodied structure. The palate is greeted with a flavorful array of chocolate, walnut, and the unique note of lead pencil. The finish is tight, leaving a lingering impression of elegance and strength.

The wine also boasts of a textural attack that segues into a supple, integrated core encapsulated by sweet, powdery tannins. The black berry flavors are accentuated by savory accents and a pleasing herbal lift.

The 2023 L'Evangile is indeed a masterpiece, a wine that is as focused as it is elegant. It’s a testament to the prowess of its producer, L'Evangile, and a proud representative of its birthplace in Bordeaux, France. The cork closure maintains the wine's integrity and its 13.5% alcohol content strikes a harmonious balance with its structure and flavors. This is a wine that promises and delivers an unforgettable experience.
