Today also sees an En Primeur release from one of Pomerol’s oldest estates - Chateau L’Evangile. Owned and managed by the team at Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), the property is ideally situated on the Pomerol plateau, neighbouring both Petrus and Chateau Cheval Blanc.
Since DBR purchased the property in 1999 - and with Saskia de Rothschild very much making Evangile in particular "her own" - they have invested huge amounts of money in the vineyards and the winery and have brought meticulous attention to detail to the vinification. Today they are producing one of Pomerol’s most sought-after and finest wines.
The proportion of Cabernet Franc in their final blend (16%), along with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon in the 2019 vintage, was tremendously important for the property bringing much needed balance and freshness, while not losing any of that opulence and density brought by the Merlot.
The 2019 is beautifully plush with both depth and intensity on the palate. The 2019 is an opulent, decadent, detailed wine, with fine-knit tannins integrated with great concentration and purity of fruit all backed with a lovely line of freshness. Don’t miss one of Pomerol’s stars in 2019.
