2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles Domaine de La Vougeraie Magnum

50% whole bunch from the old vines. Fine mid purple. There is a certain tension here, some cherry kernel notes, significant intensity with good acidity. The stems give a little lifted tingle at the back. Not massive but fine and with length.

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 1er Cru contains 50% whole bunch. It has a rather broody bouquet, a little introverted at the moment, with dark berry fruit, forest floor and light tobacco scents. The palate is medium-bodied, the whole bunch defining the entry, a little stemmy but with decent depth and plenty of freshness on the spicy finish. One of the best Gevrey’s from the Domaine this year.

(from a huge holding of 3.15 ha of vines on the Brochon side; 50% whole clusters). Reduction masks everything but subtle floral nuances. More interesting are the notably finer and more mineral-driven middle weight flavors that possess both a lovely texture and underlying tension while delivering fine length on the youthfully austere finale. This too is an excellent Gevrey villages that is firm enough to reward a decade of keeping.

Inciterende parfume af skovbær og surbund. Mørke, let brændte og spicy aromaer. Moden i udtrykket … Kort sagt: En skøn duft. Og i munden får du mærkbar syre, fuldmodne brombær, hindbær og kirsebær og let bitre chokoladenoter. En smule mere koncentration på midterpaletten havde klædt denne bourgogne, men det er stadig et flot, flot glas med en fornem fadbalance og de rette, ædle toner. Vil udvikle sig støt og roligt de næste par år. Lige nu passer den rigtig godt til vildt – f.eks. sommerbuk med svampe.
