Blason de L'Evangile

The Blason de L'Évangile is the second wine of Château L'Évangile – and in Pomerol, that means: no compromise, but the same care on younger vines and slightly different parcels.

The Château has roots dating back to 1741 and has been part of the Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) since 1990. The location in Pomerol is privileged: Atlantic-influenced climate, well-drained gravel soils over a layer of clay – ideal conditions for Merlot. The grape composition reflects this: 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. The total production of the Château is around 60,000 bottles per year, with the Blason accounting for the smaller part of that.

In the glass, the wine shows the typical Pomerol profile: dark cherry, plum, and a hint of graphite, underlaid by fine roasted notes from barrique contact. The Merlot portion ensures a velvety mouthfeel and round tannins, while the Cabernet Franc brings structure and a spicy-floral tone to the finish.

Drinking recommendation: Serve at 16–17 °C. Pairs with veal fillet with morel sauce, entrecôte, or strong goat cheese.
