Tasting Notes
Vinous 94-96
The 2023 L Evangile is sensual and plush in the glass. Silky, refined tannins wrap around a core of dark-toned fruit, spice, mocha, leather and dried flowers. This opens nicely, leading to an explosive, deep finish that is quite compelling. Elevage is 50% new oak, 27% once-used barrels, 15% 26hL cask and 8% amphora. It’s another fine effort from the team led by Technical Director Juliette Couderc.
Anticipated maturity: 2030-2048
Robert Parker 93-95
Wafting from the glass with deep aromas of dark berries, spices, licorice and petals, framed by a sweet patina of new oak, the 2023 L’Evangile is medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a textural attack that segues into a supple, integrated core that’s framed by sweet, powdery tannins. It’s a blend of 78% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, checking in at 13.5% alcohol, that was harvested between September 4 and 28.
