1984 Chateau L'Evangile Pomerol Bordeaux France 750mL

This 42-year-old bottle of Château L'Evangile is virtually impossible to find anywhere else in the United States. Recorked by the Chateau in 2021; it didn't leave the property's cellars until just now. Sandwiched directly between Petrus and Cheval Blanc, L'Evangile shares the exact same iron-rich clay and deep gravel terroir that makes Pomerol the most fiercely hunted appellation in all of Bordeaux. At 42 years of age, this 1984 represents the classic, historical era of the estate. It has shed every ounce of its youthful weight, transforming into a fragile, hauntingly aromatic, and deeply earthy piece of Bordeaux history. Finding intact 1984 Right Bank Bordeaux with guaranteed, pristine cellar provenance is incredibly difficult today. If you are building a serious vertical, celebrating an anniversary, or simply want to experience a fully mature Pomerol legend without paying the $450+ retail premium, this is a brilliant acquisition.
