Château L`Evangile
Chateau L`Evangile is famous for one of the first vineyards in Pomerol. At the beginning of the 19th century the property acquired the look it is in today, and in 1868 L'Evangile was included in the list of Premier Cru du Haut-Pomerol. In 1990, Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite acquired the mansion and from that time the renovation of the vineyards and the winery began. The 14 hectares of vines are planted with Merlot 78% and Cabernet Franc 22% on gravel mixed with sand and clay. Vinification is traditional with long fermentation and maturation in 40% new oak for 16 - 20 months. The quality is constantly growing and with Michel Rolland as a consultant L'Evangile offers a class that competes with that of the famous Pétrus and Lafleur.

Bordeaux
Bordeaux is perhaps the most famous wine region in France, stretching 130 kilometers inland from the Atlantic Ocean coast; in 2018, 111,000 hectares of vineyards were registered, a figure that has remained largely stable over the previous decade; the main varieties grown here are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc, and from these, various wines are made, with each producer having their own blend and proportions of the grape varieties; some of the most famous, expensive, and long-lasting wines in the world are produced here, with the subregions Medoc, Graves, Saint-Emilion, Pomerol, and many others being well-known; Bordeaux is divided by the Gironde River into the left and right banks; the left bank (Medoc, Haut Medoc, Graves) is characterized by a more serious presence of Cabernet Sauvignon in the wine blend, while on the right bank (St. Emilion, Pomerol) Merlot predominates; in addition to red wines, Bordeaux is also famous for producing white wines, mainly a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, with the subregion Sauternes leading the ranking and the renowned Chateau d’Yquem, celebrated for its complex, multi-layered, aromatic, and sweet botrytized dessert wine.

Merlot
Southwest of France is Merlot’s birthplace - the regions of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Merlot is nowadays widely planted across the world much like Cabernet Sauvignon because it is an early maturing grape variety and because of its ability to ripen fully even in slightly cooler climates. Smooth, velvety, soft and rounded - an “easy drinking" wine with tender tannic structure - these are the common descriptions of Merlot wines.
