Blason de L’Évangile, the second wine of Château L'Evangile, is supple and elegant, lighter in style and more fruit driven than the Grand Vin, making it more accessible in its youth. A blend of Merlot (87%), Cabernet Franc (12%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (1%) the wine is matured in French oak barrels that had held one wine, and 20% to vats for malolactic fermentation, and a maturation period of about 16 months. The colour is deep with garnet reflections. The nose is marked by spicy notes reminiscent of cinnamon and cardamom prolonged by red fruits. A certain vivacity in the mouth emphasises a fresh fruit, a subtle mix between blackberry and raspberry. The mouth ends with elegant and silky tannins.
