Domaine Collotte Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 2022

Description

Product Description:Old vines, high elevation, and serious finesse from Gevrey’s wild edge. Domaine Collotte’s 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles is a single-vineyard Pinot Noir drawn from just 0.44 hectares of vines planted in 1955. Perched high on the combe above the village, part of this site edges into Premier Cru territory—a mark of its pedigree. This bottling captures the site’s lift and precision while offering the structure and depth expected from Gevrey’s rugged slopes. The Collotte family has worked these vineyards for four generations, with the domaine expanding beyond Marsannay in the 1980s under Philippe Collotte. His daughter Isabelle now shares winemaking duties, applying a consistent cellar approach across terroirs to let each site speak clearly. Les Evocelles offers the most delicate voice in their Gevrey line-up—elegant, perfumed, and finely tuned. With 15 years of cellaring potential, this wine showcases old-vine Pinot at its most articulate. Expect refined tannins, pulpy black fruit, and a savoury edge—perfect with roast duck or goose. Maker Domaine Collotte is a true testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of the Collotte family, who have been entrenched in the art of winemaking in the Burgundy region for generations. Founded by Philippe Collotte in 1981, the estate was built on the shoulders of his family’s long tradition of grape growing in Marsannay. Over the years, Domaine Collotte has expanded, acquiring some of the finest vineyards in the Cote de Nuits, including prized plots in Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny. Since 2013, Philippe’s daughter Isabelle has worked alongside him, bringing her viticulture and oenology expertise to the winery and refining the style of Domaine Collotte wines. Together, the family has cultivated a reputation for producing wines of exceptional balance, elegance, and ageability, reflecting their meticulous approach to both vineyard management and winemaking. Philosophy At Domaine Collotte, winemaking is a delicate dance between tradition and innovation. With a focus on sustainability and organic practices, the Collotte family seeks to create wines that not only express the unique terroir of their vineyards but also respect the environment. The philosophy centers around minimal intervention, allowing the grapes to speak for themselves, and ensuring that every wine produced tells a story of the land and the people behind it. The use of wild yeasts, gentle fermentation, and careful maturation techniques allow Domaine Collotte wines to express the very best qualities of the vines and the soil. With a profound respect for both the past and the future of Burgundy, Domaine Collotte continues to produce wines that are timeless, nuanced, and complex, with a sense of place that is unmistakable in every bottle.
