Vintage Character Domaine Philippe Charlopin‑Parizot Gevrey‑Chambertin Les Evocelles 2020 is a concentrated yet elegant Pinot Noir that captures both the rocky, high‑altitude terroir of this climat and the richness of the 2020 Burgundy vintage. The 2020 growing season in Burgundy was marked by a hot, dry summer, producing wines of ripe concentration, freshness, and firm structure. From the stony slopes of Les Evocelles, this cuvée opens with aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, accented by violets, licorice, and subtle earthy spice.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, it is medium‑ to full‑bodied, with ripe tannins, lively acidity, and a mineral backbone that mirrors the vineyard’s rocky soils. The finish is long and persistent, balancing power with finesse. Its layered character makes it a versatile partner for roast pigeon with herbs, mushroom risotto, or a wedge of Brie de Meaux, where the wine’s depth and freshness complement both savory and delicate flavors.
Winery Background Founded in 1977, Domaine Philippe Charlopin‑Parizot has grown from just 1.5 hectares to more than 25 hectares across the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Chablis. Philippe Charlopin, once a protégé of the legendary Henri Jayer, is recognized for producing wines that combine Burgundian terroir transparency with a fuller, more modern style. The domaine farms prestigious parcels including Chambertin, Clos Saint‑Denis, Bonnes‑Mares, and Gevrey‑Chambertin Les Evocelles, with a philosophy that emphasizes ripe fruit, silky tannins, and accessibility without sacrificing depth. Today, the estate is regarded as a producer of both power and elegance, offering a distinctive interpretation of Burgundy’s greatest vineyards and appealing to collectors and enthusiasts alike.
