Bottle (6)


"The 2015 L'Evangile is composed of 84% Merlot and 16% Cabernet Franc and was matured for 18 months in new oak barrels from Tonnellerie des Domaines (their own cooperage). Deep garnet-purple in color, it absolutely leaps from the glass with complex, gregarious notes of blackberry pie, plum preserves, smoked meats/charcuterie, mocha and licorice plus suggestions of cloves, black soil and unsmoked cigars. Full-bodied, rich, opulent and jaw-droppingly sexy, it has beautifully plush yet firm tannins with a lively backbone and a very long, spicy finish." (97+ pts. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, Feb. 2018)

"The 2015 L'Evangile has a very seductive bouquet with ripe red cherries, boysenberry, hints of black truffle and iodine. I love the sheer seductiveness of this wine, which wants to drag you into bed (after enough bottle age). The palate is medium-bodied with a veneer of creamy oak, underneath which lay layers of pure red fruit laced with white pepper, touches of cumin and truffle. This will require several years to fully integrate the oak which is more prominent than its Pomerol peers, but the structure and freshness will see this age with panache and style." (96 pts. Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Feb. 2018)
