Performance

Understanding Blason de L'Evangile, Pomerol, Bordeaux

The grapes for Blason d'Evangile are selected from the younger vines of Château L'Evangile, planted in the rich clay and gravel soils that have established Pomerol as a premier winegrowing region. This soil composition is particularly favourable for Merlot, the predominant varietal in the blend, complemented by Cabernet Franc, which adds layers of complexity and structure to the wine. From the meticulous selection process through to the harvest, every step is taken to ensure the grapes express the full potential of the terroir. The winemaking process involves fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks, followed by ageing in French oak barrels. This careful ageing process enhances the wine's structure and complexity, allowing the fruit and oak to integrate seamlessly. Blason d'Evangile features rich berry, notes of chocolate, coffee and a hint of vanilla in a velvety palate with well-integrated tannins. This wine promises excellent ageing potential.
