波爾多右岸 Pomerol 的Chateau L'Evangile，是五大酒莊之一 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild 旗下的產業之一。本酒莊創立於18世紀中期，第二任的莊主將這裡命名為L'Evangile1，意為「福音」。在十九世紀時本酒莊已經被視為Pomerol 的第一級酒莊。1990年Lafite Rothschild家族收購了L'Évangile之後，讓本酒莊的品質更進一步提升：包括更嚴格的篩選酒，以及二軍酒Blason de L'Évangile的誕生，並且在1998年還進行了修復和部分更新工程來改善葡萄園，2004年完成了酒莊的新配置。
L'Évangile能釀造出頂尖好酒最重要的還是因為其優良的風土條件。Pomerol的東南部有一處礫石高地是本村的最精華地塊，包括L'Évangile在內的少數酒莊共享這處稀有的風土條件：L'Évangile在北邊和Pétrus接壤，南部與Cheval Blanc相鄰，顯示出其位置的優異性。22公頃的葡萄園，種植的葡萄品種是80% Merlot 和20% Cabernet Franc，年產量大約是5000箱左右。L'Évangile的酒質特色是優雅細膩，有宜人的果香但是不流於俗艷，受到許多美酒鑑賞家的青睞。
An astonishing effort from the Rothschild family, the 2009 l’Evangile may be the reference point offering from this estate for decades to come. A blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc aged in 100% new oak, with 15% natural alcohol, it exhibits a sumptuous bouquet of caramels, black raspberry liqueur, blackberries, violets, graphite and truffles. Thick, viscous flavors are reminiscent of such super-ripe vintages as 1982, 1959, 1949 and 1947. The striking aromatics, massive, full-bodied mouthfeel and multilayered palate that resembles a skyscraper in the mouth offer an abject lesson in great winemaking, extraordinary terroir, and the ability to combine power with precision, elegance and freshness. This is unquestionably a huge wine, but it also possesses mindboggling complexity and finesse. Because of its sheer extract and velvety personality, it will be drinkable in 4-5 years, and will keep for four decades or more where well-stored. The most profound L’Evangile ever made?
