The plantings are composed of 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Franc (the local name for Cabernet Franc is Boucher) planted at a density of 5,500 vines per hectare. The average age of the vines is 25 years. Chateau l'Evangile has two major soil types. There are the clay soils common to the plateau of Pomerol but also areas of gravel which are very unusual for Pomerol and much more common to the Graves region. The clay produces wines of strength and power while the gravel parts create wines that are more delicate.

- Really liked this one, low in acidity, very smooth and well integrated despite its relative youth

- Revealing notes of beef blood, black fruits and white flowers. It is medium-bodied and lush with sweet tannins a opulent texture and a long rich finish revealing hints of forest floor truffles and licorice. One of the most impressive Pomerols of the vintage... -Wine Advocate 90-93 Points ...pure and atypically powerful... -IWC 90-92 Points
