Vinous Neal Martin - 05 Jan 23
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 1er Cru suffered both frost, coulure and hail damage so yields are a pitiful 5hL/ha. It has a slightly leafy nose with sous-bois infused red fruit that doesn't quite "take off". The palate is actually rather succulent and generous on the entry with a fine bead of acidity, shaking off the trauma of the season well, though it is short on the finish. Early drinking.
