Domaine Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin Les Evocelles, Cote de Nuits, France 2023

Gevrey-Chambertin “Les Evocelles” is a standout example of why this hillside lieu-dit is so coveted combining old-vine depth with striking mineral tension. Sourced from high altitude, stony soils just above the main slope, this wine delivers a more lifted and precise expression of Gevrey, balancing dark cherry, wild berry, and spice with a firm, saline backbone. Dugat-Py’s low yields, organic farming, and whole-cluster fermentation bring both power and energy, while the 2023 vintage adds a touch of early charm to the domaine’s typically structured style. The result is a wine of impressive concentration and finesse layered, age-worthy, and widely considered one of the top village-level bottlings in Gevrey-Chambertin.
