Gevrey Chambertin Les Evocelles 2022

The 2022 Gevrey Chambertin Les Evocelles from Philippe Charlopin brilliantly captures the distinct character of this high-altitude lieu-dit. Located on the steep slopes in the northern sector of Gevrey Chambertin, Les Evocelles is known for producing wines of particular precision and mineral intensity.

The nose is notably refined, offering fresh red fruits and subtle spice notes, with a pronounced mineral character that reflects the site's elevated position and limestone-rich soils. The aromatic profile shows excellent clarity and definition, balancing the ripeness of 2022 with the natural freshness of the site.

On the palate, the wine displays impressive tension and energy, with bright fruit flavors framed by sophisticated structure. The elevation of Les Evocelles contributes to a particularly detailed and precise expression, with fine-grained tannins providing elegant support. The finish is long and mineral-driven, with pure fruit notes persisting, demonstrating both the quality of the terroir and the warmth of the vintage.

This wine exemplifies both the distinctive character of Les Evocelles' privileged site and Charlopin's ability to capture terroir nuance.
