2022 Château L'Evangile is one of the most acclaimed Pomerol purchases from the vintage and shows a significant stylistic shift towards finesse, purity, and elegance. The wine is dark, deep, and intense in color and opens with an aromatic profile of black cherry, black plums, spice, cocoa, and fresh herbs, wrapped in a silky, refined, and well-balanced texture. The fruit is clean, juicy, and vibrant, while the powdery, fine tannins provide structure without harshness. The finish is long, precise, and mineral, with clear freshness and elegance.

Given the young average age of this estate's vineyards, its well-draining soils and the extreme vintage, I was a little apprehensive; but the technical team evidently took the conditions in their stride, harvesting the east-facing side of the vines (which sees the hottest afternoon sun) four days earlier. The resulting 2022 L'Evangile is beautiful, offering up aromas of raspberries, vine smoke, black truffles, violets and gravely soil. Medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety, it's seamless and polished, with a bright core of fruit and powdery tannins that temper 2022's inherent sweetness of fruit to sophisticated effect. At this early stage, it appears that the estate's progress with regards to élevage continues too, as Evangile's creamy oak signature is much released, allowing the fruit—and this superb terroir—to take center stage. It's a blend of 82% Merlot, 17.5% Cabernet Franc and 0.5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Cabernet Franc - Merlot

Cabernet Franc – Merlot er en klassisk variant af det røde Bordeaux‑blend, særligt forbundet med Right Bank‑områderne Saint‑Émilion og Pomerol, hvor nogle af verdens mest prestigefyldte vine skabes på netop denne kombination.

Merlot udgør typisk hoveddelen af blendet og bidrager med moden mørk frugt, blød mundfølelse og rund struktur, med smagsnoter af blomme, mørke bær og ofte et strejf af chokolade. Cabernet Franc giver til gengæld aromatisk løft, floralitet, friskhed og krydderi, og dens karakteristiske urtede noter og elegante tanninprofil tilføjer kompleksitet og finesse.

Denne balance mellem Merlots generøse frugt og Cabernet Francs vibrerende aromatik skaber vine, der er både tilgængelige i deres ungdom og samtidigt lagringsdygtige. Kombinationen er så succesfuld i Bordeaux, at store navne som Château Cheval Blanc er kendt for netop denne druekombination.

Blendet findes nu også uden for Frankrig, bl.a. i Californien, Washington, New York, Toscana og Sydafrika, hvor producenter fortolker det i både frugtdrevne og mere strukturerede udgaver.
