Deeply colored, like the hue of black plums, the nose is packed with smoke, truffle, incense, licorice, dark chocolate and kirsch, there is a citrus note in the background that adds more complexity. Intensity and sexiness, velvet textured and sensuous, this is bottled decadence. The finish resists fading, serving up dark chocolate and ripe, sweet, juicy, black plums that expand for close to 60 seconds. Balanced, fresh, opulent, long and expansive, this is a contender for the best wine ever to come out of l'Evangile. If you want to know what spell binding is, try this wine!

Opaque in color, this is one sexy thrill ride, with all its layers of ripe, chocolate infused plums and truffles. The wine is rich and intense, sensuous and concentrated. Give it time to age for sure.

Dark in color and dark in fruit, it’s easy to lose yourself in the flume of smoky, black plum liqueur. Inviting with truffle, licorice and wet earth, this is a full-bodied, silky, plush, intense, sumptuous and luxurious wine. Very sexy with red velvet tannins and real density of fruit, there is a lovely expansion of rich, dark chocolate, spice, truffle, espresso and black cherry liqueur in the lengthy finish that is not soon forgotten. From a blend of 84% Merlot and 16% Cabernet Franc, the wine reached 14.8% ABV with a pH of 3.8. Picking took place between from September 15 to October 5. The Grand Vin was made from 70% of the harvest and will be aged in 100% new, French oak. 98 - 100 Pts

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.
