Château L'Evangile (Pomerol)
Forest leaf, plum and earthy scents come to forefront. On the palate, the wine is medium/full bodied, with a distinctive, herbal edge to the fruit, finishing with licorice and spicy red berries. This is probably close to fully mature. The wine was made from a blend of 76% Merlot and 24% Cabernet Franc. 3,427 Views Tasted Jul 12, 2017 |
When to Drink Chateau L'Evangile, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time
Chateau L'Evangile needs time before it begins to show its true character. L'Evangile needs at least 10-15 years of aging in good vintages until it is ready to be enjoyed.
Young vintages can be decanted for 2-3 hours or more. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau L'Evangile offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 12-40 years of age after the vintage.
Serving Chateau L'Evangile with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips
Chateau L'Evangile is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift. Chateau L'Evangile is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes.
Chateau L'Evangile is also good with Asian dishes, and hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.
