The 2022 Domaine Collotte Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles is an old-vine Pinot Noir from a tiny 0.44-hectare parcel situated high above the village. Its deep and refined bouquet combines red and black cherry, blackberry and dark plum with grilled meat, raw cocoa, cedar, mustard seed and a subtle smoky mineral note.
On the palate, it is concentrated, generous and focused, with a dense core of dark fruit framed by ripe tannins and energetic mineral drive. Toasted and savoury nuances add complexity, while the structure remains polished and beautifully integrated. The finish is long, tangy and persistent, revealing both the power and refinement associated with Gevrey-Chambertin.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, Les Evocelles is an outstanding village-level Burgundy with the depth and structure often associated with Premier Cru wine. Decant for one to two hours if drinking now, or cellar confidently for further development over approximately 15 years. Ideal with roast duck, goose, venison, beef, game birds or mushroom-based dishes.
