WINE DESCRIPTION
Château l'Evéché is a Merlot-dominated red wine from the Pomerol appellation located on the right bank in Bordeaux. The vines are 50 years old and thrive on gently sloping, sandy, and gravelly terraces formed by the Isle River, a tributary of the Dordogne. The vineyard enjoys an ideal south-facing exposure, perfect for ripening Merlot grapes. The wines undergo a lengthy maceration to extract a high level of tannin with the aim of crafting a structured and age-worthy wine before being aged in oak barrels.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château l'Evéché Pomerol showcases a deep ruby color with aromas of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, along with hints of tobacco, cedar, and truffle.On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance between flavors hinting at blackberry and plums with notes of violets, cigar box and well-integrated oak. The refined tannins and thread of acidity that runs through the wine provides structure, helping to carry the lingering finish, leaving a pleasant impression of black fruit and spice.
