Supple, fleshy and subtle, a bit on the earthy side, but the spicy wild strawberry and currant aromas and flavors emerge gracefully to make this appealing now. Good balance.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Tasted at the property, the 1986 L'Evangile had a rather muted bouquet that did not really "sing" from the glass. It felt a little mute with reluctant licorice-tinged black fruit, savory in style but lacking vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft entry, quite rustic and old school, a touch of white pepper and game, smoky towards the toffee-tinged finish.

Evangile (L')
The grand vin of Château L'Evangile is described in an old edition of "Grands vins de Bordeaux" (Dussaut editions) as "...full, elegant wines with incomparable bouquet and finesse." For many wine enthusiasts, subtle and elegant quality is indeed the hallmark of this wine.Grape varieties in the wine: 80 to 90% Merlot, 10 to 20% Cabernet FrancAging duration in oak barrels: 18 months, with 70% new barrels.Average annual production: 2,000 to 3,000 cases per year. After a cold and wet winter, high temperatures in March and April favored the start of vegetation. Then, a long, gray, temperate period without excess continued until August, requiring enhanced technical monitoring. The good weather stabilized in early September and eventually favored good and calm grape ripening. This vintage is characterized by a 13-moon year and a longer than normal vegetative cycle.Discreet nose. Very round on the palate, full attack, generous mid-palate. Finish with a solid texture. Very well-integrated oak.
