Burgundy expert Bill Nanson (the Burgundy Report) says:
Just a few barrels of this single vineyard bottled on its own from vines planted in 1955 located high up above the village on the combe in Les Evocelles. The wine shows excellent lift and finesse and freshness to the aromas. The palate is very expressive already with fine structure and silky fine tannins. A very fine addition to the range.
The domaine is the only owner of Evocelles in Gevrey – as opposed to Brochon – touching on Champeaux. A tighter nose but one that slowly releases a little red fruit. Supple, cushioned but still a wine with energy. A faint grain of tannin frames these flavours but without any dryness attached to them. Layered in the middle and finishing very, very, well.
By all accounts, an even finer Evocelles than Bachelet’s $300 version or the $200 one of Dugat-Py.
This 2022 also enjoys grand cru-level ratings on Vivino.
