Château L’Évangile 2009

A solar Pomerol: velvet texture, depth and Merlot sensuality

Terroir

Château L’Évangile is one of the major estates of Pomerol. Located on gravel and clay soils, close to some of the appellation’s most prestigious crus, it produces deep, velvety and intensely expressive wines shaped by the nobility of Merlot.

The 2009 vintage, generous and solar, offers a broad and sensual expression of L’Évangile. Ripe fruit, rich texture and silky tannins combine with remarkable depth. This is a powerful yet refined Pomerol, already seductive while retaining excellent capacity for further evolution.

Tasting notes

Nose:
The bouquet may reveal notes of black plum, blackberry, black cherry, violet, cocoa, truffle, liquorice and gentle spices. The overall expression is rich, enveloping and marked by the aromatic depth of great Pomerol wines.

Palate & Finish:
The palate is broad, velvety and deep, with silky tannins, generous substance and excellent persistence. The finish lingers on ripe dark fruit, cocoa, truffle, spices and a discreet mineral touch, offering an opulent yet elegant expression of Pomerol.
