The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles is one of the highlights of the range, opening in the glass with scents of cassis, smoked meats, rich soil tones, spices and dried flowers. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and nicely concentrated, with bright acids and fine depth at the core.

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 1er Cru, which is entirely de-stemmed, has a taut, strict bouquet of black rather than red fruit along with crushed rock, almost flinty in style. The palate is sappy on the entry with slightly chalky tannin. There is plenty of tightly wound, marine- infused, briny black fruit here, although like the La Justice, I am seeking more charm to come through on the finish. Not bad, but I have preferred other vintages in the past 2020 - 2028

Testvinder: Meget gevrey-agtig. Så mørk som rød bourgogne bliver i både kuløren og frugten, som er fløjlsagtig med noter af lakridskonfekt. I øjeblikket er det dog tons af træ, der dominerer. Træet føles også i munden, som er noget mere koncentreret end NZ-pinot'en fra Burn Cottage.
