Product Description
The 2017 L’Evangile is made up of 100% Merlot as the Cabernet Franc was lost to the frost. The plump blackberry flavours have been brought out through 30 days of maceration at moderate temperatures.
Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 95
All of the Cabernet Franc was frosted in 2017, so L’Evangile is composed of 100% Merlot for the first time. Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 L’Evangile is a little closed to begin, offering glimpses at blueberry preserves, baked plums and black raspberries scents before revealing nuances of spice cake, cinnamon stick, dusty soil and garrigue plus a waft of incense. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a lot of richness and depth, with firm, ripe, rounded tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and spicy.
Anticipated maturity: 2022-2050
