Vintage Character Representing the elevated heights of Gevrey-Chambertin, the 2023 Domaine de la Vougeraie Gevrey-Chambertin "Les Evocelles" showcases exquisite precision. The strong 2023 Burgundy vintage benefited from a warm, sun-drenched summer that yielded beautifully ripe fruit, balanced by cool spring nights that preserved crucial acidity. Situated on the border of Brochon, the "Les Evocelles" lieu-dit is celebrated for its steep, high-altitude vineyards and shallow, limestone-dominant soils. This cooler microclimate imparts a distinct mineral tension and structural elegance, softening the typical muscularity of Gevrey-Chambertin.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, this elegant Pinot Noir reveals pure aromas of wild raspberries, red cherries, and crushed stone, intertwined with hints of rose petals. The palate is energetic and medium-bodied, boasting silky tannins, vibrant red fruit, and a chalky finish that highlights its mineral pedigree. Pair this versatile red with a classic roasted duck breast with cherry sauce, seared venison, or a traditional Chinese soy-glazed squab.
