  • Neal Martin, April 2024, Score: 89-91

    The 2023 Blason de L'Évangile has an understated bouquet at first, though it soon finds its voice, revealing predominantly red cherries and raspberry fruit intermixed with violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannins. Silky in texture with a hint of balsamic toward the finish, this will be an approachable Blason that can drink well for a decade. Drink 2026-2036

  • Antonio Galloni, April 2024, Score: 89-91

    The 2023 Blason de L’Évangile is a very pretty second wine. Pliant and expressive, with fine persistence, the 2023 offers up plenty of dark-toned fruit, along with touches of spice, leather, tobacco and incense that build with time. The darker, riper side of the year comes through nicely here. This is an unusual Blason that is mostly Merlot, with just a touch of Franc. There's a touch of tightness on the finish that hopefully will soften with élevage. Drink 2025-2035

  • Wine Advocate, April 2024, Score: 89-91

    Bursting with aromas of dark berries, plums, cherries and licorice, the 2023 Blason de l'Evangile is medium-bodied, fleshy and seamless, with a supple, succulent palate framed by velvety tannins.

  • James Suckling, April 2024, Score: 95-96

    The depth of fruit and creamy tannin structure show the class and beauty of this wine. It’s rich in ever-so-polished tannins that caress every inch of your palate. Medium to full body. Lovely finish. 95% merlot and 5% cabernet franc.

  • Matthew Jukes, April 2024, Score: 18

    The fruit quality and ravishing shape of Blason on the palate is superb, and only 5% Cabernet Franc is eye-dropped into this beauty, and yet it makes itself heard, adding immeasurably to the perfume. There is magnificent intensity here, and this is a more profound Blason than past vintages. I sense this second wine is moving up the ladder of composure and class. With little oak imprint and a stunning, singular impression, this is a much less tannic wine than the Grand Vin and a delicious sprinkling of new oak, and this enhanced spiciness adds a lovely, feisty note to this seamless wine.

Producer

Château l'Evangile

L'Evangile has long been one of the most sought after Right Bank châteaux. Since the Rothschildfamily (the Lafite branch) purchased the estate in 1990, its quality has rivalled neighbouring Pétrus and Lafleur.

Region

Pomerol

The small sub-region of Pomerol is situated north-east of the industrious city of Libourne. Pomerol's soils are predominately iron-rich clay with a smattering of gravel that produce wines with extraordinary power and depth. As a result of this clay-dominance, it has the highest percentage of Merlot planted in all of Bordeaux. Certain châteaux are produced exclusively from this grape, but most incorporate smaller quantities of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc as well. Despite its hefty (if not exclusive) proportion of Merlot, many people think of wines from this region as separate entities. As one wine aficionado stated recently, "It's not Merlot. It's Pomerol." Despite the region's small size, Pomerol contains some of the world's most sought after (and expensive) wines including Pétrus, Le Pin, Lafleur, l'Evangile and Vieux Château Certan. Unlike other Bordelais subregions, there is no system of classification. The châteaux are traded on reputation alone.
