Description

Blason de L’Evangile is selected from the same vats that are used to make the Grand Vin. It has characteristics similar to the Grand Vin, but less potential for ageing as it is matured in barrels for a shorter period of time.
It should be drunk younger than its more robust counterpart.

The vineyards of the Pomerol appellation are located on a plateau on the right bank of the Dordogne, about 40 km northeast of Bordeaux.

In Pomerol, Merlot is the King. The clay soils typical of the terroir of this appellation allow the grape variety to express itself like nowhere else.

Terroir :
the grape selected for Blason de l'Evangile comes from clay ridges and silty sands that cover the clayey subsoils. These lighter soils allow for deeper rooting of the vines and better protection from water.

The resulting wine is supple and elegant, lighter and fruitier in style than Grand Vin and therefore more accessible in its youth.
