    Notes and pairings

    Tasting notes

    It is best to decant the wine at least two hours before tasting and serve it at a temperature between 16 and 18°C. To accompany it, choose meat-based dishes with pronounced flavors. A pepper sauce, for example, or a porcini mushroom sauce, will enhance the aromas of your wine.

    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

    In the winery, research and work intertwine and are carried out with subtlety, never forgetting the raw material provided by the vines. L'Évangile is also a table always set to welcome its guests, whether curious or experts, around a ribeye steak grilled over the vine shoots of those same vines. And of course, a wine. A great wine of balance, powerful and rounded, sharp and smooth.

    Château L'Évangile is also the first of the Barons de Rothschild Lafite estates to be farmed organically. All the vines have been replanted and are learning to adapt.
