Domaine d’Eugenie probably needs very little introduction, but for folks needing a quick refresher, it is formerly the Rene Engel Estate in Vosne Romanee. Francois Pinault purchased the estate in 2006, and under the direction of Frederic Engerer of Clos de Tart, Chateau Latour, Chateau Grillet, and Eisele, the vineyard has been brought to its full potential and expression of its extraordinary terroir.

The 2021 Grands Echézeaux Grand Cru was made with 75% whole clusters this year. This is a tangible level up from the Echézeaux with vivacious dark cherry and blackcurrant fruit, much more in terms of concentration and delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-chiselled tannins that frame the pure, very saline fruit. Energetic and animated on the finish. This has serious potential. Superb.-Neal Martin, Vinous Media

 

75% whole bunch vinification, aged in three new barrels out of five. A rich full deep purple. There is a wealth of fruit on the nose but it hasn’t quiet decided on its direction. More soft than precise at this point. Rich, plums, raspberry strawberry, then the tannins reassert themselves a little at the back. The fruit swells once again, but the various constituent parts have not quite come together. There is more coming back behind, but I have opted to score conservatively at this stage. Drink from 2030-2038.-Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

 

Tasting note: An exuberantly spicy yet cool and restrained nose reflects notes of Asian-style tea, violet, black cherry and a deft application of wood. The richer, bigger and more powerful flavors possess even better concentration with slightly better complexity as well that emerges on the balanced and lingering finale where a touch of oak can be found. This is built to repay extended keeping yet there is so much sap that it should be reasonably approachable after 5-ish years.--Allen Meadows, Burghound
