The 2020 Blason de L'Évangile is a plump, juicy wine that very much reflects the extroverted side of the year. Super-ripe black cherry, plum, licorice, cloves and espresso are all dialed up. A racy, extroverted Pomerol, the 2020 Blason is a total pleasure bomb. This is the first time the Blason was partly aged in tank, a decision taken to maintain as much freshness as possible.

The 2020 Blason de l'Évangile represents around half the volume this year a majority from younger vines and as a result of a parcel selection. It matured in used barrel and 5-6% in amphora. It has a pretty nose with black cherries, flint and light blood orange scents. Well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft and supple entry, velvety smooth with a subtle marine/seaweed influence towards the finish. A capable second wine.
