Château L'Evangile, Pomerol 2016 750ML

97–99 Point Vintage (vintage consensus: exceptional year in Bordeaux)

Situated between Petrus and Cheval Blanc, Château L’Évangile delivers classic Pomerol depth with remarkable refinement in the outstanding 2016 vintage.

Blend: Predominantly Merlot with Cabernet Franc
Tasting Notes: Black plum, blackberry compote, crushed violets, graphite, cocoa, and subtle spice. The palate is velvety and layered, with fine-grained tannins and a long, mineral-driven finish. Powerful yet polished.
Structure: Concentrated, balanced, age-worthy
Drink Window: 2025–2045+

Decanting: 1.5–2 hours recommended if drinking now. This wine has the structure to benefit from air but does not require aggressive decanting.

A benchmark Right Bank wine — luxurious enough for collectors, composed enough for a serious dinner table, and built for long-term cellaring.
