An elegant and mineral red with a medium body and tight, fine tannins. Stony, with fresh red-fruit and citrus notes. Tight center-palate. Fresh and fine. Second wine. 84% merlot and 16% cabernet franc. - James Suckling

The second wine of the estate, the 2021 Blason De L'Evangile checks in as 84% Merlot and 16% Cabernet Franc. Deep ruby-hued, it has a juicy, lively, pure Merlot bouquet of ripe cherries and black raspberries, spring flowers, and sappy herbs, with a kiss of graphite and minerality. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has an elegant, supple mouthfeel, light tannins, and a great finish. It's a classy, elegant, juicy Merlot to drink over the coming 10-12 years. - Jed Dunnuck

Exhibiting notions of sweet red berries, plums and rose petals, the 2021 Blason de l'Evangile is medium-bodied, lively and charming, with bright acids and powdery tannins. The estate's holdings near Château Beauregard were frosted, meaning that quantities are rather depleted this year. It's a blend of 84% Merlot and 16% Cabernet Franc. - William Kelley , Wine Advocate

The 2021 Blason de L'Évangile is marked by bold, racy fruit and terrific energy. Crushed red berry fruit and lively floral notes abound in a classy, refined Blason. All the elements are impeccably balanced. Pretty floral accents grace the lifted, perfumed finish. The 2021 is a gorgeous Blason. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
