Description
Tasting notes
Reviewed by: William Kelley
The 2019 Blason de l'Evangile is a charming, supple wine bursting with aromas of sweet cherries and berries, deftly framed by creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, round and giving, this generous expression of ripe, sun-kissed Merlot (complemented by a mere 5% of Cabernet Franc) is already drinking well.

The 2019 Blason de l’Evangile, which includes 5% Cabernet Franc and was matured in one-year-old barrels, has a fragrant nose of ripe black cherries, iodine and light violet notes, just missing a little personality. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins and a dash of balsamic, but it lacks complexity and feels rather monotone on the finish. This doesn’t really compel me back for another sip.
About the Producer
The Blason de L'Evangile, chosen from vats with the same bases as the great wine, presents characteristics close to the great wine with, however, a lesser aging potential since its aging in barrels is shorter. It should be drunk younger than its elder.
