Château l’Evangile's 1994 vintage is drinking beautifully right now.

L’Evangile possesses the rare duality of professionalism and joviality – from the owner Baron Eric Rothschild – to the château staff.

In 1990 the Rothschild group took controlling interest of l’Evangile, which was previously run by the formidable Madame Ducasse who was still running it in her 90s. Madame was initially sceptical of the Baron Eric’s intentions and wouldn’t let the Rothschild’s winemaker, Charles Chevallier, near the vines, and so he used to have to sneak around the vineyard just to see how things were progressing!

Original wooden case available - please call for details.

"One of the vintage's most notable successes, L'Evangile's 1994 possesses a dense, saturated purple color, followed by a gorgeously sweet nose of framboise/cassis, with mineral and licorice notes in the background. This medium to full-bodied wine reveals a seamless, opulent texture, fabulous purity to its layers of fruit, as well as superb extraction and equilibrium. This terrific wine is one of the few 1994s that has most of its tannin concealed by the wine's wealth of fruit. It is a gorgeous L'Evangile." eRobertParker.com (Feb 1997)
