Château L'Évangile

The vintage
2021 was a year marked by an Atlantic climate, in which our great early-ripening plots of gravel-clay were our best allies in the search for balance. Aromatic freshness, particularly in the Cabernet Franc, which reached a record percentage in the blend! An episode of frost in spring, with capricious weather. This first vintage to be certified organic has enabled us to make progress in the face of climatic hazards, particularly on the Merlot grapes, and to learn how to react more effectively.

Tasting
Reflecting the vintage, l'Evangile embodies sobriety and elegance, with a peppery nose laced with notes of black berry, a gentle balance between spices and freshness.
The palate is surprisingly floral, with a chiselled attack that quickly builds to a remarkable density supported by a silky tannic structure. Harmony reflecting a wine of great purity.
