2012 Gevrey Chambertin Evocelles

The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles was cropped at 17hl/ha, contains 60% whole cluster fruit with around 60% new oak. It has a lovely, pure blackcurrant pastille and cassis fruit, the new oak nicely integrated here. The palate is very energetic on the entry. There is fine tension here, layers of ripe but tense black fruit with a sorbet-fresh, delineated finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is a superb Gevrey-Chambertin that should age for the next 10-15 years. Dec 2013, www.robertparker.com
