Based in Prémeaux-Prissey, Domaine de la Vougeraie was formed in 1999 when wine entrepreneur Jean-Claude Boisset decided to consolidate all the vineyard holdings of his various négociant companies acquired over the years. With nearly 40 hectares of vineyard area and over 30 different appellations – including six Grand Crus – this is one of Burgundy’s leading estates. This village-level Gevrey-Chambertin comes from Les Evocelles, the very first vineyard acquired by the estate back in 1966. The 2020 vintage was one of the earliest harvests on record in Burgundy and these Pinot Noir grapes were picked on 31st August. Aged for 16 months in oak barrels [26% new], the wine was bottled in February 2022.
Vinous
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 1er Cru contains 50% whole bunch. It has a rather broody bouquet, a little introverted at the moment, with dark berry fruit, forest floor and light tobacco scents. The palate is medium-bodied, the whole bunch defining the entry, a little stemmy but with decent depth and plenty of freshness on the spicy finish. One of the best Gevrey’s from the Domaine this year. Neal Martin1st December 2021
