2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles Domaine de la Vougeraie Burgundy

This regular bottling of Les Evocelles has a fine brisk purple colour and charming fruit, medium-bodied pretty red fruit notes including a touch of raspberry. It is elegance personified, not too weighty, but stylish, racy and with a fine long finish.
Jasper Morris MW, Burgundy Director

Two recent trends which have been continued here by winemaker Pierre Vincent are a slight reduction in the amount of new oak, which now mostly comes from the local forest of Cîteaux, and a slight increase in the use of stems during vinification. The latter is subtly judged though, as there is very rarely any outright feel of the stems in the bouquet or on the palate. 2010 is a tiny crop here, averaging out at 24 hl/ha across the cellar but the wines are magically concentrated.
