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。
Given the young average age of this estate's vineyards, its well-draining soils and the extreme vintage, I was a little apprehensive; but the technical team evidently took the conditions in their stride, harvesting the east-facing side of the vines (which sees the hottest afternoon sun) four days earlier. The resulting 2022 L'Evangile is beautiful, offering up aromas of raspberries, vine smoke, black truffles, violets and gravely soil. Medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety, it's seamless and polished, with a bright core of fruit and powdery tannins that temper 2022's inherent sweetness of fruit to sophisticated effect. At this early stage, it appears that the estate's progress with regards to élevage continues too, as Evangile's creamy oak signature is much released, allowing the fruit—and this superb terroir—to take center stage. It's a blend of 82% Merlot, 17.5% Cabernet Franc and 0.5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
