Domaine Collotte Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles 2020

The Collottes have been grape growers in Marsannay for four generations, but it wasn’t until 1981 that a young, 16 year-old Philippe Collotte bottled the first wine under the name of Domaine Collotte. He subsequently purchased some mature vineyards of about 40 years of age in both Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny, to further expand the domaine’s repertoire.

Just a few barrels of this single vineyard bottled on its own from vines planted in 1955 located high up above the village on the combe in Les Evocelles (part of which is classified as premier cru). The wine shows excellent lift and finesse and freshness to the aromas. The palate is very expressive already with fine structure and silky fine tannins. A very fine addition to the range.

The domaine is the only owner of Evocelles in Gevrey – as opposed to Brochon. A vibrant, high-toned width of aroma. Nicely structural, a little unready in the flavours but nice shape and perfume. - Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report, November 2021
