Château L'Évangile
“We could never resist to an extraordinary, unique terroir. Very different from the Médoc but absolutely outstanding”
Baron Eric de Rothschild
The cellar
Vinification where tradition and modernity go hand in hand
The vat room and the cellar were rebuilt in 2004 to make them better suited to selection by plot. First, the grapes from each plot are separated into batches in order to judge their potential for use in the Grand Vin at the end of fermentation.
Traditional and modern winemaking methods are closely associated in all of the cellar’s operations. Fermentation in vats is carried out using the traditional method of pumping over and controlled maceration, with frequent tasting. Once fermentation is completed, the wine is stored in oak barrels where it spends 18 months.
Rigorous selection is carried out in producing Château L’Evangile and the second wine, Blason de L’Évangile.
The average production of Château L’Evangile and the second wine Blason de L’Evangile is 5,000 cases.
