Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Pomerol

Pomerol, a distinguished appellation on Bordeaux's Right Bank, stands as a vinous jewel celebrated for its exceptional Merlot-dominant red wines. What makes Pomerol unique is its relatively small size, allowing for an intimate focus on individual vineyards and an emphasis on artisanal winemaking. Unlike many Bordeaux regions, Pomerol does not have a formal classification system, placing the spotlight on each estate's intrinsic quality and distinct terroir. Merlot thrives in Pomerol's clay-rich soils, crafting wines of opulence, velvety texture, and alluring plum and black cherry notes. Iconic châteaux like Pétrus and Le Pin showcase the pinnacle of Pomerol's winemaking prowess. The absence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blends further accentuates the appellation's uniqueness. Pomerol wines are revered for their approachability in youth and the ability to evolve gracefully over time, exemplifying the timeless elegance and allure of this exceptional Bordeaux appellation.

Both wines from L'Evangile showed beautifully. The 2020 Blason De L'Evangile is a more forward wine, offering terrific plum and darker berry fruits as well as classic Pomerol gravelly earth, chocolate, and leafy tobacco aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, it's as seamless as they come, with terrific balance and supple tannins. It will drink brilliantly for 15 years. The blend is 87% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc, brought up mostly in once-used barrels with 15% in tank.

In this ripe wine, softness masks some firmer tannins. This second wine has a juicy character that also gives spicy density. It is full and rich, concentrating the black fruits. Drink from 2026.

The 2020 Blason de L'Évangile is a plump, juicy wine that very much reflects the extroverted side of the year. Super-ripe black cherry, plum, licorice, cloves and espresso are all dialed up. A racy, extroverted Pomerol, the 2020 Blason is a total pleasure bomb. This is the first time the Blason was partly aged in tank, a decision taken to maintain as much freshness as possible.

Delicate, floral nose. Smooth and succulent, really quite clean and crisp on the palate. There’s a bit of dryness that comes in quite quickly, then minerality and a salty tang coupled with crisp blueberries and black cherries follows. Deep and dark in profile, with liquorice and clove reminding you this is still quite young and relatively potent. Structured, fresh and concentrated, with a touch of heat on the finish. Mouthwatering, quality fruit, and polished in feel.

The Wine Independent

A blend of 87% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 Blason de L'Evangile is deep garnet-purple in color. It skips out of the glass with exuberant notes of chocolate-covered cherries, baked plums, and boysenberries, leading to suggestions of Indian spices, licorice, and dusty soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is soft and juicy with plenty of expressive black fruits and just enough acidity, finishing long.

Winery Notes

Blason de L’Evangile is selected from the same vats that are used to make the Grand Vin. It has characteristics similar to the Grand Vin, but less potential for ageing as it is matured in barrels for a shorter period of time. It should be drunk younger than its more robust counterpart.
