Vinous – Antonio Galloni – 94-96/100
The 2021 L’Évangile is a heady, sensual wine. Silky and pliant, with
fabulous balance, L’Évangile is a stand-out. The blend includes 30%
Cabernet Franc, high for the château, but what really stands out is the
wine’s balance. Red/purplish fruit, blood orange, rose petal and spice are
all wrapped together by silky, pliant tannins. Franc aromatics and saline
underpinnings extend the finish. Élevage is 50% new oak, 35% one yearold barrels and 15% amphora. Readers will find a super-classic Évangile
that has tons of potential. I loved it.

Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate – 93-95/100
A blend of 69% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 1% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 L’Evangile offers up aromas of plums, cherries and wild berries mingled with notions of rose petals, violets, licorice and tobacco leaf. Medium to full-bodied, ample and velvety, with fine concentration and rich, powdery structuring tannins that assert themselves on the finish, this estate’s rather low average vine age meant Evangile didn’t suffer much from coulure this year, and the rainy growing season also spared young Cabernet Franc from hydric stress—explaining its historically high percentage in the 2021 blend.
