Château l`Évangile has a history dating back several centuries. It was originally a part of the larger property known as Château Figeac, but in the 18th century, it became an independent estate. Over the years, it changed hands multiple times. Currently, Château l`Évangile is owned by Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite), which also owns Château Lafite Rothschild, one of the five First Growths of Bordeaux. The 1985 vintage is fully mature now, boasting notes of truffles, dark chocolate, sweet plums, wet earth and forest floor.
