Chateau L'Evangile, Pomerol 2013 (1x75cl)

Pomerol is a small right bank district where Merlot does most of the talking, and the reds tend to feel plush and rounded rather than austere. L'Évangile is one of the names Hong Kong collectors know well, which makes it an easy bottle to bring to a dinner where the wine is part of the occasion.

Also a straightforward client gift — the label does the explaining for you. Free delivery in Hong Kong over HK$800, flat HK$80 below that, standard delivery 2-5 business days.

Tasting notes

Merlot-led Pomerol typically shows black plum, black cherry and violet, often with a truffle or savoury note developing with age, and tannins that feel silky rather than grippy. Decant for around an hour and serve near 17°C, ideally with something slow-cooked.
