Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) Blason de L'Evangile Magnum HK

The Blason de l'Évangile is the second wine of Château l'Évangile – one of the most respected estates in Pomerol, in the hands of Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) since 1990. The magnum format offers a real advantage: the larger bottle slows down maturation, stabilizes the aromatics, and makes the wine look particularly impressive on the table.

Deep ruby red in the glass with violet reflections. On the nose, raspberry, blackcurrant, and a hint of violet – the classic profile of Merlot-dominated Pomerol soils with their characteristic blue clay and gravel content. Silky and full-bodied on the palate, the tannins are ripe and fine-grained, the acidity well-integrated. The finish shows fresh fruit with pleasant length.

Pairs well with rack of lamb with a herb crust, an entrecôte, or a hearty mushroom risotto. Mature Camembert also stands up well to this wine. Drinking temperature 16–18 °C, open about 30 minutes before pouring. The magnum is suitable for a large group, a special evening, or as a gift that leaves an impression.
