Den er modnet i 18 måneder på 60-70 procent nye fade og består af 82 procent Merlot, 17,5 procent Cabernet Franc og 0,5 procent Cabernet Sauvignon. Sikke en dejlig næse. Overraskende nok var der betydeligt mere rød frugt end i noget andet, jeg havde smagt før den dag. Fyldig slåen, hindbær, jordbær og surkirsebær plus blomme. Fyldig, tæt og rød. En høj charmefaktor. Munden er ekstremt velsmagende! Jeg er meget overrasket over, at Cabernet er den dominerende smag i starten. Den efterfølges af de sorte kirsebær fra Merlot. Tanninerne er ekstremt fine og polerede. En meget elegant vin med smuk længde og salt. Og som sagt med en forbløffende mængde rød frugt. Det giver det hele en salt sideeffekt. Et strejf i retning af Clinet. Det er en fornøjelse! En meget smuk vin med stor harmoni, men også en masse personlighed.

2022 vil gå over i historien som en fremragende årgang med hensyn til kvalitet. Og det på trods af, at det var den tørreste sommer i Frankrig, siden man begyndte at registrere den, og det varmeste år i det hele taget siden 1947.

Revue du Vin de France om: Chateau L’Evangile

L'Evangile is fresh and crisp from start to finish in an almost airy style for such a solar vintage. This is a good example of the way in which the Pomerol plateau has taken this vintage's extremes in its stride. Lively yet concentrated and generous, it shows a slightly reserved form of elegance with a satin-like texture to the palate. The fruit flavours emerge gradually, becoming more and more exotic, sensual and, finally, radiant. One should not forget the finesse of its tannins either. All of this bodes for the best as to the way the style of L'Evangile is evolving. 96-98/100

Parker om: Chateau L’Evangile

Given the young average age of this estate's vineyards, its well-draining soils and the extreme vintage, I was a little apprehensive; but the technical team evidently took the conditions in their stride, harvesting the east-facing side of the vines (which sees the hottest afternoon sun) four days earlier. The resulting 2022 L'Evangile is beautiful, offering up aromas of raspberries, vine smoke, black truffles, violets and gravely soil. Medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety, it's seamless and polished, with a bright core of fruit and powdery tannins that temper 2022's inherent sweetness of fruit to sophisticated effect. At this early stage, it appears that the estate's progress with regards to élevage continues too, as Evangile's creamy oak signature is much released, allowing the fruit—and this superb terroir—to take center stage. It's a blend of 82% Merlot, 17.5% Cabernet Franc and 0.5% Cabernet Sauvignon. 95-97/100

Neal Martin om: Chateau L’Evangile

The 2022 L'Evangile was picked at 30hL/ha. It is aged in 50% new oak sourced from four coopers plus two recently introduced foudres. There are similarities with neighboring Cheval Blanc on the nose as if it's holding something back in a good way. Beautifully defined, dark berry fruit, crushed stone and bay leaf aromas are succinct and not showy. The palate is medium-bodied with a smooth, velvety entry. There's plenty of rondeur, nicely judged acidity, pliant tannins (more than Cheval Blanc?) and pure with a dab of white pepper and clove. Classic in style. A touch of desiccated orange rind appears on the aftertaste that was apparently there during the fermentation. Very harmonious on the finish. This is a lovely, discrete Pomerol from an estate moving in the right direction - fast. 14.3% alcohol. 95-97/100
