Located in a privileged setting bordered by Château Pétrus and Cheval Blanc, the 22-hectare vineyard of Château L’Évangile sits upon a geological marvel: a long line of rare surface gravel layered over heavy green clay. This unique terroir provides the perfect foundation for Merlot and Cabernet Franc to reach their full potential. As a pioneer in the region, L’Évangile is the first of the Rothschild Lafite estates to fully embrace organic farming, treating the vineyard as a natural laboratory. From the introduction of beehives to encourage biodiversity to the use of horses in the vines, every step of production respects the raw material. In the winery, the grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled concrete vats before aging for 18 months in oak barrels crafted by the Tonnellerie des Domaines Barons de Rothschild, ensuring every bottle captures the true essence of the land.
