The Wine
With La Conseillante as a neighbour, Pétrus to the north and Cheval Blanc just across the border in Saint Emilion to the south, Château L’Evangile is a superbly situated estate. Realising its enormous potential, the powerful Rothschild family bought a controlling interest in L’Evangile in 1990. Since then, through thick and thin, the wines have been consistently outstanding. In a superb vintage like 2010, the results are simply extraordinary. Parker awards this wine 98 points. It’s made mostly from Merlot, with a little Cabernet Franc, and aged for 18 months in oak casks (40% new). Stand a bottle upright for a day to allow any sediment to settle. Then decant for an hour and enjoy with roasted red meats or game. It’ll mature for decades.
"Massive levels of black raspberries, Asian plum sauce, truffles and cassis. Unctuously textured"
