2014 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles Louis Boillot, Burgund

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles, Louis Boillot

The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin les Evocelles was nearly totally millerandage-affected, and as a consequence it was the ripest picking at 12.6 degrees potential. It offers strawberry pastilles and blackcurrant on the nose, a hint of wild heather. This is very intriguing. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent red berry fruit, orange zest and minerals, crisp and taut with good delineation and intensity on the finish. This is excellent -- one of the best from Louis Boillot this year. - Neil Martin, Dez. 2015

Allen Meadows' Burghound - 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles, Louis Boillot

Here the nose is at once more complex and more elegant with excellent density to the purple fruit and floral scents. There is fine concentration to the stony, intense and well-delineated middle weight flavors that are shaped by relatively fine tannins on the powerful, austere and very serious finish. This is definitely going to need a few years of bottle age first but should be outstanding in time. Recommended. - Allen Meadows, Jan. 2016

Vinous - 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles, Louis Boillot

Bright red with ruby tones. Aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, licorice and game suggest a ripe, powerful wine. Big, broad, savory and rich on the palate, but with its impressive density of material given lift by superb energy. Finishes saline, dry and long, with strong but ripe tannins calling for considerable patience. - Stephen Tanzer, März 2017
