Château L'Evangile Pomerol Red 2012

The Léglise de Libourne family founded the estate that would become Château L'Évangile. In the mid-18th century, they were actively involved in the creation of the Pomerol vineyards.

By the turn of the 19th century, the estate stretched over some 13 hectares when it was sold to a lawyer called Isambert. In 1862, L'Évangile was bought by Paul Chaperon and in 1990, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) acquired L'Évangile from the Ducasse family with a view to ensuring that the estate was looked after with the same dedication. The initial influence of DBR (Lafite) included a more refined selection of Grand Vin, and the creation of Blason de L'Évangile as a second wine. Efforts were also undertaken to improve the vineyard with a partial restoration and renovation plan that was launched in 1998. The complete renovation of the winery, completed in 2004, completed the new configuration of the estate.
