Domaine d'Eugénie - Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brulées 2017
Domaine d'Eugénie was born from the acquisition of René Engel estate by François Pinault in July 2006. It is located in Vosne-Romanée, in the heart of the Côte-de-Nuits between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Gevrey-Chambertin. This village is considered the gem of the great red wines of Burgundy.
Since 2009, Domaine d'Eugénie is based in the center of Vosne-Romanée in the former "Clos Frantin" which is now called "Clos d'Eugénie". Today, the estate is managed by Frédéric Engerer (manager of Château Latour) and a team of two experienced and versatile winemakers.
Significant work has been undertaken to develop a complete and efficient winemaking site: the vat room is made up of thermo regulated wooden vats of different capacities to make a strict and precise selection of parcels, reflecting the diversity and complexity of the terroirs. The estate produces six wines out of five appellations and covers an area of 6.51 hectares spread over the municipalities of Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot and Flagey-Echezeaux.
Since 2009, Clos d'Eugénie and Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru have started their conversion to biodynamy.
Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru "Aux Brûlées" comes from a plot of 1.16 hectares facing the prestigious appellation of the Richebourgs. The vines are about sixty years old. This wine is fleshy and brings a complex aromatic palette, characteristic of this solar terroir.
