Both the winery's Grand Vin and its second wine, Blason de L'Évangile, are among the top Bordeaux and international wineries. The history of the Château L'Évangile winery in the Bordeaux appellation Pomerol dates back to 1741. This is no surprise, as the terroir here is particularly suitable for excellent wines: a moderate climate influenced by the Atlantic and well-ventilated gravel soils offer the best conditions. Today, this excellent and rather small winery is part of the Rothschild family's wine empire. 80 percent of the vineyards are planted with Merlot, and 20 percent is occupied by another Bordeaux classic, Cabernet Franc. Château L'Évangile bottles around 60,000 bottles per year.
