The nose is intense with toasted and vanilla-scented notes, accompanied by notes of fresh fruit. On the palate the wine has great intensity with dense, silky, ripe tannins. The finish is long and powerful.

In 1990, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) acquired L'Évangile. DBR (Lafite)'s initial influence included a more refined selection of the Grand vin, and the creation of Blason de L'Évangile as a second wine.

The southeast Pomerol plateau features a long line of surface gravel. Three vineyards, including L'Évangile, share this rare soil.The vineyard covers 22 hectares, made up of sandy clay soil with pure gravel, on a subsoil containing iron residues. The grape varieties consist of Merlot (80%) which contributes to the wine's fruity flavour and body, and its unmistakable suppleness; and Cabernet Franc (20%), which brings finesse and structure.

Fermentation in vats is carried out using the traditional method of pumping over and controlled maceration, with frequent tasting. Once fermentation is completed, the wine is matured in oak barrels for 15 months.
