Critic reviews
"The 2015 L'Evangile is composed of 84% Merlot and 16% Cabernet Franc and was matured for 18 months in new oak barrels from Tonnellerie des Domaines (their own cooperage). Deep garnet-purple in color, it absolutely leaps from the glass with complex, gregarious notes of blackberry pie, plum preserves, smoked meats/charcuterie, mocha and licorice plus suggestions of cloves, black soil and unsmoked cigars. Full-bodied, rich, opulent and jaw-droppingly sexy, it has beautifully plush yet firm tannins with a lively backbone and a very long, spicy finish."

"The 2015 L'Évangile, which was made by previous winemaker Jean-Pierre Vazart, is outflanked by the Hosanna 2015 that preceded it. This lacks a bit of vigor and tension. Light cedar and truffle scents emerge with time. Interestingly, two bottles tasted in New York at Vinous Icons were fresher and livelier than the one in London. The palate is slightly better with a viscous texture. It's powerful and oaky, with good density and decent freshness toward the toasty finish. It actually finishes on a high note, hence my score, but the aromatics are found wanting. Tasted at the 2015 Ten-Year-On tasting at Bordeaux Index and at the Vinous Icons seminar in New York."

"The 2015 L'Évangile is a powerhouse. Rich, deep and ample, the 2015 shows the richer, more potent side of the year. Black cherry, plum, new leather and spice build as this extroverted Pomerol shows off its flamboyant personality. There is not a whole lot of subtlety here. It will be interesting to see if more nuance develops over time. For now, the 2015 is dense and vibrant, that much is obvious. I would give the 2015 at least a few years in bottle to shed some baby fat."
