The 2013 Château L’Évangile comes from Pomerol on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, one of the world’s most prestigious Merlot-based wine regions. The estate Château L’Évangile is considered among the top producers of Pomerol and sits close to legendary neighbours such as Château Pétrus and Château Cheval Blanc.
The 2013 vintage is a blend of approximately 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc, offering a refined expression of the estate despite the challenging vintage conditions.
The wine opens with aromas of plum, black cherry and dark berries, layered with notes of violet, cedar, tobacco and gentle spice. On the palate it is medium-bodied and elegant, showing silky textures, fresh red and dark fruit, and subtle chocolate and earthy complexity. The tannins are polished and the finish remains fresh and balanced.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, Pomerol is one of the Bordeaux styles we often recommend to customers who enjoy velvety, Merlot-driven wines with depth and elegance. The 2013 Château L’Évangile is a graceful and approachable vintage from this iconic estate — offering classic Pomerol character with plum fruit, floral notes and silky texture.
