    It is through one of those mysteries of geology that, on this plateau, southeast of Pomerol, a curious accident brought to the surface a long streak of gravel, a rare earth upon which the vineyard rests. Château The Gospel. Its location is quite privileged: bordered to the north by the vineyards of Château Petrus, he is not separated from Cheval Blanc in Saint-Émilion, to the south, only by a secondary road. On 22 hectares, 43 plots evoke by their name their environment (Maison, Cuvier), their place name (Catusseau, Chantecaille, Jean Faure) or even their configuration (La Pointe).

    Owner and history

    THE Château the Gospel is a domaine A wine estate located in the Pomerol appellation, on what is known as the "Right Bank" of the Bordeaux wine region – the area extending north of the Dordogne River and encompassing Pomerol, Saint-Émilion, and their satellite appellations. True to the grape varieties characteristic of this area, the Château The Gospel produces a wine with a predominantly Merlot character, which nevertheless regularly ranks among the highest rated in the Pomerol appellation. THE domaine It was acquired by the Léglise family in the 18th century and changed hands several times before being bought in 1990 by Domaines Barons de Rothschild, owners of the Château Lafite Rothschild.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Château L'Evangile is a meticulous process. The grapes are harvested by hand, ensuring rigorous selection of the bunches. After careful destemming, the grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled vats to preserve the freshness of the aromas. Aging takes place in oak barrels, some of which are new, for 12 to 18 months. This process allows the oak to subtly integrate into the wine, while respecting the expression of the fruit and the terroir.
