Blason de l'Evangile (Pomerol)
Showing much better in the bottle than it did from the barrel, the wine is intensely floral, silky and fresh, with solid core of soft, creamy-textured, sweet, vibrant, earthy red fruits, finishing with a gentle touch of dust on the tannins. This is perfect for ordering in a bistro or cafe, as it needs no decanting, just pop, pour and enjoy. Drink from 2022-2030. 1,349 Views Tasted Mar 29, 2022 |
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.
