2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles En Foule Domaine de la Vougera...

This special bottling from the high density planting (30,000 vines per hectare) is only available in magnums. The wine has been vinified with 80% stems included as they were fully ripe. Bright red purple in colour with a beautiful deep cherry fruit nose, very sensual. Lovely, mouthfilling, yet with very good acidity behind. Superb finish, fine, floral and exceptionally well balanced.

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.
