Tasting Notes

91-93
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 1er Cru has a pretty bouquet of vivacious red currant, raspberry and crushed strawberry fruit, along with light rose petal notes and hints of quince and orange pith. The palate is very well balanced with fine tannins, and a keen thread of acidity lends real tension and precision toward the finish. This is one of Boillot’s best 2018s.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 13 Feb 20
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles is a touch more reserved, unwinding to reveal a brooding bouquet of cherries, berries, dark chocolate, grilled meats and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, lively and precise, it's concentrated and introverted, with powdery structuring tannins and a mineral finish.

Deepish crimson. Very ripe and like the village Gevrey, a touch stewed on the nose. Plenty of fruit but not really vibrant. There's acidity but somehow it is not particularly fresh. (JH)
