COAT OF THE GOSPEL 2020
Château L'Evangile is located in the town of Pomerol , in Bordeaux . The Léglise family , originally from Libourne, is at the origin of Château L'Église. In 1862, L'Église was bought by Paul Chaperon, whose heirs, the Ducasse family , remained owners until 1990. When Paul Chaperon died around 1900, his descendants took the property to Louis Ducasse in 1957, who took over the property in decline and heavily affected by the frosts of 1956. He will successfully endeavor to renew the vineyard and restore the rank of L'Église. From 1982, it was his widow, Simone Ducasse, who ensured family continuity. In 1990, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) acquired L'Église from the Ducasse family. The 22-hectare vineyard is managed by Olivier Trégoat , Technical Director of Château L'Evangile, Château Rieussec, Château Paradis Casseuil and Domaine de Long Dai.
