Château l’Evangile is one of the Pomerol’s oldest producers tracking its history back to 1741. It sits on a long strip of gravel in the south-eastern part of the appellation and is bordered by two illustrious neighbours in the form of Château Pétrus and Cheval Blanc. Acquired in 1990 by Domaines Barons de Rothschild it produces what is regularly one of Bordeaux’s most majestic and long-lived wines. Predominantly composed of the variety Merlot an addition of Cabernet Franc imparts structure and complexity to the wine which is aged in French oak for around 18 months before release. Make this wine the centrepiece of an unforgettable evening.
