Description

In 1990, Domaines Barons de Rothschild acquired Château L'Évangile from the Ducasse family, promising to continue managing the estate at the same high standard. This was followed by significant investments in the extensive renovation of the cellar, the introduction of a second wine, and the partial replanting of the vineyard. The vineyard now spans 22 hectares and consists of sandy loam soil with pure gravel on a subsoil containing iron deposits. The grape varieties comprise Merlot (80%), which contributes to the wine's fruity taste, body, and distinctive smoothness, and "Bouchet", the local name for Cabernet Franc (20%), which provides finesse and structure.

Château l'Évangile

Château L’Évangile is one of Pomerol’s most important estates and lies on the prestigious plateau, only a few steps from Pétrus and Cheval Blanc. Its terroir combines heavy iron-rich clay with fine gravel, ensuring optimal water regulation, depth and aromatic concentration. Merlot dominates, supported by Cabernet Franc, which brings freshness, structure and floral tension. The style of L’Évangile is marked by sensual opulence, silky tannins, dark fruit and subtle spice, always carried by impressive balance. Under the leadership of Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), the estate has been thoroughly modernised without losing its characteristic elegance. L’Évangile today stands for long-lived, complex and seductively harmonious Pomerol wines.

Bordeaux

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
