Domaine d'Eugénie - Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brulées 2018
Domaine d'Eugénie was born from the acquisition of Domaine René Engel 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, in Burgundy. This village is considered the pearl of the great red wines of Burgundy. Since 2009, the Domaine d´Eugénie has been located in the center of Vosne-Romanée in the former "Clos Frantin" which now bears the name "Clos d´Eugénie". Today, the Domaine is managed by Frédéric Engerer (manager of Château Latour) and a team of two experienced and versatile winegrowers. Significant work has been undertaken to develop a complete and efficient winemaking site: the winery is made up of thermo-regulated wooden vats of different capacities to be able to carry out a strict and precise plot selection, reflecting the diversity and complexity of the terroirs. The Domaine produces six wines from 5 appellations and an area of 6.51 hectares which extends over the municipalities of Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot and Flagey-Echezeaux. In 2009, Clos d'Eugénie and Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru began to convert to biodynamics, which they should obtain in the 2020 harvest.
Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru "Aux Brûlées" comes from a 1.16-hectare parcel facing the prestigious Richebourg appellation. The vines are around sixty years old. 2018 can qualify, by its heat and drought, as a solar vintage.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
