  Le 2014 est à point en ce moment et très typique du millésime: fin, droit, peu tannique. C’est la même chose pour le 2015 qui est davantage sur les fruits noirs, avec un nez très parfumé, des notes florales, une grande complexité. Une cuvée qui me fait tellement plaisir à chaque fois. Merci D’Artagnan de m’y avoir fait penser ce soir.

  Bien d'accord avec Mazy.
  
  Un nez magnifique de fleurs mauves et de cerises rouges. La bouche est gorgée de fruit, fraiche et énergique, avec en arrière-plan la structure de l’appellation qui se fait discrète. Finale précise, de bonne longueur, avec un coté salin charmant. Très beau Gevrey, difficile d’imaginer mieux comme niveau village. 92 pts

  PNP. Plus ouvert que la dernière mais encore jeune. S’améliore en cours de soirée avec l’aération dans la bouteille et le verre. Une de mes cuvées préférées du domaine qui entre à mon avis dans une belle (et longue) fenêtre de plaisir.

  100% Pinot Noir from four organically farmed parcels in the Les Evocelles vineyard, originally planted in 1945 and where the average vine age is currently +50 years. All fruit is destemmed and fermented spontaneously. Aged for 18 months in predominantly old oak barrels. 13% alcohol. Tasted in Boillot Les Evocelles 2018-2008 vertical.
  
  Medium-deep and moderately translucent garnet color. Quite big, sweetly-fruited and dark-toned nose with aromas of ripe raspberries, some licorice, a little bit of cherry, light meaty tones, a floral hint of violets and a touch of wild strawberry. The wine is ripe, sweet-toned and juicy on the palate with a medium-to-moderately full body and quite focused flavors of wild strawberries and brambly raspberries, some crunchy cranberries, a little bit of sour cherry bitterness, light peppery notes of Pinosity, a hint of smoke and a savory touch of meaty umami. The overall feel is wonderfully fresh and structured with the high acidity and firm, somewhat grippy medium tannins. The finish is savory, juicy and somewhat grippy with moderately long flavors of brambly raspberries and ripe strawberries, some fresh red plums, a little bit of meaty umami, light sweet notes of black cherries and a hint of earthy Pinosity.
  
  A ripe but also enjoyably balanced and structured Gevrey-Chambertin that has retained its sense of freshness remarkably well for the solar 2015 vintage. There's quite a bit of fruit and some sense of density, but the taste stays always on this side of sweetness and there's enough savory complexity to keep the wine from coming across as too fruit-driven. The overall feel is still very youthful and I can see the wine improving easily for another decade or so. One of the better vintages of Boillot Les Evocelles from the 2010's.

  This is a rather fruit forward burgundy on the darker fruit side of things. Was a bit surprised on the density here but does carry a nice cut of a acidity. No clear burgundy signatures so don’t think I could have called this blind. Would put it more in the Sonoma coast camp of some of the more burgundy influenced producers. Packed a lot of flavor so enjoyed but lacking a sense of place to me.
