Vougeraie Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 2019

90-93 points Jasper Morris, MW: "The previous high density planting didn’t work on the hard limestone where it was located, but they are thinking of trying it in a different sector. This is from the regular planting. Rich dense purple. There is a sturdy aspect to the nose, suggesting baby 1er cru intensity. Little catch in the mouth from the stems (50%) which deliver a firmness here. Fresh pleasing finish and excellent length. (Nov 2020)"

92 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Spicy and ample profile, loose structure but volume and breadth in the Gevrey Evocelles, endowed with crunchy tannins and a thirst-quenching finish. (2022)"

90-92 points/'Outstanding/Top value,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from vines on the Brochon side; 50% whole clusters). An overtly floral-suffused nose reflects notes of spicy and cool red and dark currant with traces of the sauvage and forest floor. The racy, intense and beautifully precise middle weight flavors possess an almost aggressive minerality while displaying unusually good length on the complex, balanced and youthfully austere finish. This really lovely effort is quite tightly wound so at least moderate patience strongly suggested. Drink: 2029+. (Jan 2021)"

90-92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 1er Cru, which is blended with 50% whole bunch, has an elegant, floral bouquet featuring rose petal and incense infusing the airy red fruit; hints of marmalade develop with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannins. This was very sensitive to stemware, showing much better using a Zaalto than the domaine’s own curved glasses. The finish is slightly savory and certainly in the Zaalto offered more substance and grip. Drink: 2022-2032. (Dec 2020)"
