Château L'Evangile, Pomerol 2010 750ML

98–100 Point Vintage (vintage consensus: a monumental, structured, and exceptionally age-worthy year in Bordeaux, combining concentration, freshness, and precision across the Right Bank).

Château L’Évangile occupies one of Pomerol’s most distinguished gravel and clay terroirs, bordering the plateau’s most revered estates. In 2010, the château delivered a wine of remarkable authority and polish — harnessing the vintage’s natural power while preserving the estate’s hallmark elegance and aromatic nuance.

Blend: Predominantly Merlot with Cabernet Franc (classic Right Bank composition; exact proportions vary slightly by vintage).

Tasting Notes: The nose reveals layered black plum, crème de cassis, ripe blackberry, and violet, underscored by graphite, crushed stone, and a subtle truffle note. On the palate, the wine is dense and expansive yet beautifully sculpted, offering dark cherry, mocha, cedar, and fine spice. The fruit is deep and resonant, supported by precise acidity and a framework of finely grained tannins that carry through a long, mineral-laced finish.

Structure: Powerful, concentrated, and firmly structured with exceptional aging potential.

Drink Window: 2020–2055+

Decanting: If opening now, decant for 2–3 hours to allow the tannins to relax and the aromatics to fully express themselves. Earlier bottles benefit significantly from extended aeration.

The 2010 L’Évangile stands among the estate’s most compelling modern releases — a serious collector’s wine that combines gravitas with refinement. Already entering its early plateau yet built for decades of evolution, it remains a cornerstone vintage for discerning Pomerol enthusiasts.
