2023 Château l'Evangile, Pomerol, Bordeaux

Description

Blend: 78% Merlot; 21% Cabernet Franc; 1% Cabernet Sauvignon.

This is a beautifully succulent and poised expression, laced with some piquant floral notes before the richness transmutes into a finish of pepper and five spice. Juliette Couderc, the irrepressible technical director here, explained that if the season’s challenges were surmounted (as they were here), then 2023 was a textbook vintage. The long harvest here accentuated the difference between plots, and their complexity. The success of the Cabernet Franc is shown by a little more in the blend, and greater tension on the palate. This is compelling without being a blockbuster.

Drink 2028 - 2050

About this wine

Pomerol

Pomerol

With 150 or so producers and roughly 740 hectares of vineyards, the smallest of Bordeaux's major appellations is home to myriad bijou domaines – many making little more than 1,000 cases per annum. If the topography and architecture of Pomerol are typical, the style of its wines is anything but. The best vineyards are planted on a seam of rich clay extending across the raised plateau of Pomerol from the boundary of St Emilion.
