Domaine d'Eugénie - Vosne Romanée 2019
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.
The Vosne-Romanée Village cuvée is the result of a blend of two plots: "Les Communes" and "Les Vigneux" in the lower part of the hill on limestone clay soils over alluvium. The average age of the vines varies between 30 and 50 years. 2019 is a unique and highly contrasted year. It has been hot and dry, but the wines are very fresh.
