Description

This vineyard badly suffered last year’s frost but luckily missed the huge storm in Gevrey this June. The vineyard is high, just under the tree-line and in the Brochon commune so sings with the peppery, spicy bite those attributes bring. The palate is welcoming with just the right amount of Gevrey muscle. Always very appealing, this has a little extra this year.

Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 89-92/100

This is also agreeably airy with spicier aromas of pepper and floral-suffused black cherry and a vague hint of the sauvage. Like the La Justice the middleweight flavors possess a refined texture as well as notably more minerality that adds a sense of lift to the dusty, serious, compact and chiseled finish where a touch of austerity slowly emerges. This is excellent for its level and a wine that should repay up to a decade of keeping.

Racked this morning. Quite a dense purple. Definitely the darker side of raspberry on the nose. A concentrated dark raspberry fruit with plenty of pepper notes behind, adding counterpoint to the ripe fruit which surges back at the finish. This adds to the argument that Evocelles is at least half way to being a 1er Cru.
