Rich and generous, with vanilla and milk chocolate accenting black cherry, plum and mineral flavors. A powerful red, this is balanced and long, with a sweet, spicy aftertaste. Best from 2011 through 2024. 35 cases imported. -BSInc. TAX€2,460.72 -

Good medium red. Subtle, pure, high-pitched aromas of black cherry, blackberry, violet and licorice. Chewy, intense and penetrating, with plenty of stem-driven energy behind the saline, soil-driven flavors of minerals, dark berries and graphite. There's no easy sweetness here, but this builds impressively in the glass and leaves the taste buds quivering on the very long, lightly peppery back end. These firm tannins will need a decade of patience. Like the Grands-Echezeaux, this wine was aged in 80% to 90% new oak.Inc. TAX€1,902.72 -

(a blend of two tanks, one vinified with destemmed fruit, the other with 50% whole clusters): Red-ruby. Black cherry, licorice and oaky torrefaction on the nose, lifted by minty and peppery nuances. Very sweet and energetic on entry, then sappy and gripping in the middle, combining impressive thickness for the year with noteworthy finesse. Finishes with suave, dusty, fine tannins and subtle notes of spices and wild herbs. Great potential here.Inc. TAX€2,058.72 -

(25 hectoliters per hectare): Full, dark red. Tight, primary, slightly reduced aromas of blackberry, blueberry, licorice and minerals. Densely packed, rich and broad; a distinctly horizontal, pliant style of Clos Vougeot, no doubt a function of the very warm, sunny vintage. Today this is sweeter and more open-knit than the Grands-Echézeaux but both of these wines should easily age for two decades or more.

Last tasted in 2022, the 2016 Clos de Vougeot from Domaine d’Eugenie was a bit forbidding, with the fresh acidity and firm grip still very apparent. With a few more years in bottle, the edges have smoothed, rounded, and filled out. There are still profuse aromas of mulberry and pomegranate fruit, but there are more notes of earth, mineral, and spice; the texture is more dense than angular, but the finish has lost none of its length – this is maturing well, and should last another another 20 to 30 years.Inc.

The 2017 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is well defined and precise, with cranberry, raspberry and vibrant red cherry scents that soar from the glass. The oak here is very well assimilated.

Tasted blind, the 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées also put in a superb performance, unfurling in the glass with an attractive bouquet of ripe red berries, incense and candied peel, framed by a touch of light reduction that segues into sapid bass notes of smoked duck. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, lavish and multidimensional, with supple tannins, a dramatic core of fruit and succulent underlying acids. This is a very promising Brûlées from Domaine d'Eugénie.In Bond€263.00 -

Vinous (89)
(bottled in December of 2011): Medium red. Reticent nose hints at red berries, licorice and mint. Then sweet and surprisingly supple on the palate, but with excellent spine to its flavors of red fruits, licorice, minerals salts and smoky oak. Nicely balanced village wine with an echoing finish--and more density than the 2011.In Bond€1,420.00 -
Vinous (87)
(20% new oak; all destemmed): Pretty, light red. Slightly reduced aromas of cranberry and boysenberry. Juicy and firm-edged, showing a slight musky reduction but good tension to its rather light red berry flavors. More salty than fruity today, finishing with a light touch and hints of leather and game.In Bond€765.00 -
Vinous (88-90)
(fully destemmed; 30% new oak): Healthy bright red. Inviting floral lift to the aromas of raspberry and spicy oak. Juicy, fresh, nicely delineated flavors of raspberry, strawberry and spices. Finishes with sappy, fine-grained tannins and noteworthy length. This village wine boasts very good energy without any stem influence.In Bond€1,085.00 -

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Village bursts with aromas of rich cassis, plums and spices, framed by toasty new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with melting tannins and a supple, easygoing profile. This will drink well young.In Bond€663.00
