Critics reviews

Antonio Galloni 88/100
The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles is a wine of contrasts. Texturally it is quite suave and well-balanced, but the wild side of Gevrey lends an air of rusticity. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.antonio_galloni - 26/04/2012
Drink 2012 - 2017

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
