The 2024 L’Évangile offers good up-front intensity but then loses some of its depth on the mid-palate and finish. Black fruit, espresso, licorice, cloves and mocha confer an impression of gravitas. Élevage is 50% new oak, 25% foudre, 8% amphora and the rest in once-used barrels. Something about the oak profile does not feel optimal, as if the oak is mismatched to the wine. Élevage will be critical here, as the 2024 is quite forbidding at this stage. Even so, this is strong showing in a challenging year for a vineyard with relatively young vines that was largely replanted between 2002 and 2010.

Vinous – Neil Martin – 93-95/100
The 2024 L’Évangile was picked from September 18 to October 2. This has a “cool” bouquet with blackberry and bilberry scents and a little marine influence with a hint of oyster shell. The palate is medium-bodied with expressive Cabernet that imparts subtle graphite and tobacco notes. Again, this is fresh, quite structured, not long and perhaps a little tannic on the finish, but it will flesh out during its élevage in 50% new oak.

La Revue du Vin de France – 93-95/100
Le domaine est en progression, même dans ce millésime riche en défis. L’Évangile se distingue par la qualité de sa texture, avec un toucher harmonieux, plein et délicat. La haute proportion de cabernets (20 %) s’intègre avec harmonie, les tanins sont crayeux. L’ensemble se montre lumineux, savoureux et délicat.
