1988 Château l’Evangile - 波美侯 - 1 Bottle (0.75L)

Château l' Évangile 1988

尽管波美侯酒从未获得过分级，但Château L'Evangile无疑是该产区最优秀的葡萄酒之一。该庄园由卢布尔诺的 Léglise 家族在18世纪中叶创立，他们与 Petrus（Arnaud 家族）、La Conseillante（Catherine Conseillant）和 Trotanoy（Giraud 家族）等庄园的所有者并肩，共同推动了波美侯葡萄园的形成。在此前被称为 Fazilleau 的庄园，在19世纪初在律师 Isambert 的领导下改名为“L'Évangile”，他一直是所有者，直到1862年。由 Paul Chaperon 收购后，Château L'Evangile 一直留在他的后代 Ducasse 家族掌控之下，直到1990年。自那时起，拉菲罗斯柴尔德酒庄的团队逐步接管了该庄园。前任业主们早已对这片卓越风土的非凡潜力有着清晰认识，这片风土由深厚且多样的基岩、夹粘土与沙子混合的砾石组成。即使是1956年冬天的严寒也不能彻底打垮 Château L'Evangile 的葡萄园。Louis Ducasse 接管庄园，尽管当时奄奄一息，但他对葡萄园进行了更新，并在短短几年里将其提升至最佳水平。这个水平在他1982年去世后也未曾衰退，因为他的妻子以非凡的坚韧紧随其后。从1990年起，该庄园归属于 Barons de Rothschild 集团，该集团为其投入了所有必要的关注与投资。

关于葡萄酒珍藏（cuvée）

如今，新团队尽可能晚地进行采收，以获得完全成熟的葡萄、限量产量，并在70%的全新橡木桶中进行18个月陈酿。显然宣示着将 Evangile 提升至产区最高等级的雄心已部分实现：这些酒体富裕、呈深宝石红色，带有覆盆子、黑莓的芬芳，偶现的甘草香，展现出令人印象深刻的陈年潜力。

Although Pomerol wines have never been classified, Château L'Evangile is undoubtedly among the best wines in the appellation. The estate was created in the middle of the 18th century by a Libourne family, the Léglise, who contributed to the constitution of the Pomerol vineyard, alongside the families who own the domains of Petrus (Arnaud family), La Conseillante (Catherine Conseillant) and Trotanoy (Giraud family). Until then called Fazilleau, the estate took the name of the Gospel at the very beginning of the 19th century, under the leadership of the lawyer Isambert, who remained its owner until 1862. Bought by Paul Chaperon, Château L'Evangile remained in the fold of his descendants, the Ducasse, until 1990. Since that date, the Lafite Rothschild Castle team has gradually regained control of the estate. The former owners were already perfectly aware of the remarkable potential of this exceptional terroir, consisting of a deep and heterogeneous basement of gravel mixtures of clay and sand. Even the formidable frosts of the winter of 1956 could not quite get the better of the Château L'Evangile vineyard. Louis Ducasse takes over the estate still bloodless, renews the vineyard and raises it in a few years to its best level. A level that will not decline, even at his death in 1982, since his wife follows him with remarkable tenacity. Since 1990, the estate has been the property of the Barons de Rothschild group, which devotes all the necessary attention and investments to it.

A propos de la cuvée

Today, the new team practices the latest possible harvests in order to obtain grapes of perfect maturity, limited yield and 18-month aging in 70% new oak barrels. The clearly displayed ambition to raise the Gospel to the highest rank of the appellation seems to be achieved: these wines of great richness, with a dark ruby color and aromas of raspberry, blackberry, sometimes licorice, show an impressive storage capacity.
