HISTORY Chateau l'Evangile has a distinguished history of stunning vintages and produces wines of great depth. The late, passionately devoted Louis Ducasse administered the estate for many years, and his formidable wife Madame Ducasse continued the tradition with equal fervor well into her 90's. Realizing the chateau's unlimited potential, the Rothschild family purchased a controlling interest in the estate in 1990. VINIFICATION The 35 acre vineyard is brilliantly situated on deep gravelly soil mixed with clay and sand. Late harvesting lowers yields but produces rich, concentrated wines. The proportion of new oak barrels used for aging runs to 50% or even higher. STYLE The outstanding Chateau l'Evangile has one of the best reputations in Pomerol, which it well deserves. The mature wine shows a rich, full-bodied nose of black fruits , chocolate, toffee, and roasted herbs. The complex bouquet accompanies a medium acidity typical of Merlot-based wines and ripe, plush flavors of compelling richness. Most vintages have strong tannins, giving Chateau l'Evangile one of Pomerol's best potential aging profiles of six to twenty-five or even more years following the vintage. A quality equivalent to that of a Medoc first growth gives this hard-to-find wine the potential to be one of the area's big stars even in lesser vintages. (12 x 75 cl)

Recently, Domain Baron de Rothschild in 1999 purchased Chateau d'Aussieres. Moulin de Hart is Chateau Duhart-Milon's second wine, and it is selected from vats of the 'Grand Vin'. The origin of the name comes from the former presence of a windmill on the Carruades, next to the Duhart-Milon vineyard. In general, the grapes are selected from the youngest part of the vineyard. Moulin de Duhart has several characteristics similar to the fine wine, but with a lesser potential for ageing as its ageing in barrels is much shorter. Therefore it best consumed younger than its more robust counterpart. This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon 55 to 60% and Merlot 40 to 45%, spending 10 months in two year old oak barrels and that has produced a powerful and fruity wine. The structure is deep with firm tannins while it has great persistency with a lot of elegance. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £120.52
