Domaines Barons De Rothschild de l'Evangile

The grand vin of Château L'Evangile is described in an old edition of "Grands vins de Bordeaux" (Dussaut editions) as "...full, elegant wines, endowed with an incomparable bouquet and finesse". For many enthusiasts, this subtle and elegant quality is indeed the hallmark of this wine. Associated grape varieties in the wine: 80 to 90% Merlot, 10 to 20% Cabernet Franc. Duration of aging in oak barrels: 18 months, of which 70% are new barrels. Average annual production: 2,000 to 3,000 cases per year. After a cold and wet winter, high temperatures in March and April favoured the start of vegetation. Then, a long grey, temperate period without excess continued until August, requiring increased technical monitoring. The good weather stabilised in early September and eventually favoured the good and calm ripening of the grapes. This vintage is characterised by a year with 13 moons and a longer than normal vegetative cycle. Discreet nose. Very round on the palate, full attack, generous mid-palate. Finish with a solid texture. Very well-integrated oak.
