Red dry
One of the noblest and most highly regarded Premier Cru climats of this legendary Burgundy appellation, renowned for its intensity, structure, and remarkable ageing potential.
The aromatic profile is deep and multi-layered. It opens with black cherries, raspberries, and wild strawberries, soon joined by rose petals, violets, spices, and subtle forest-floor nuances. With time in the glass, notes of graphite, smoky minerality, and gentle earthiness emerge—hallmarks of the Aux Brûlées terroir.
On the palate, the wine is concentrated yet silky, built around an exceptionally precise structure. The tannins are fine-grained, dense, and seamlessly integrated, while the acidity is lively, preserving fruit purity and ensuring long-term ageing. Flavours unfold around ripe dark and red berries, spices, a touch of smoke, and a distinct mineral tension, leading to a long, dry, and highly elegant finish, echoing limestone freshness and refined spice.
The Aux Brûlées vineyard lies on stony, limestone-rich slopes, its name (“burnt”) reflecting the dry, warm exposure of the site. These conditions allow Pinot Noir to achieve exceptional concentration, structure, and aromatic depth, while maintaining the aristocratic elegance that defines Vosne-Romanée.
The harvest is carried out by hand, with meticulous grape selection. Fermentation uses native yeasts to fully express the terroir. Ageing in French oak barrels (a portion new) subtly enhances structure, never overshadowing the fruit or the vineyard’s identity.
Serve at 16–18 °C; pairs beautifully with roast duck breast with cherry jus, venison loin with wild mushrooms, or veal tenderloin with a light truffle sauce.
Domaine d’Eugénie is a modern Burgundian success story where respect for tradition, exceptional terroir, and a quiet yet deliberate ambition come together to create some of the world’s most elegant Pinot Noir wines. The estate is located in the legendary village of Vosne-Romanée, a place often regarded as the spiritual heart of Burgundy.
The story of Domaine d’Eugénie began at a pivotal moment. After the passing of renowned winemaker Philippe Engel, his vineyards—already considered among the finest in the Côte de Nuits—stood at a crossroads. They were acquired by François Pinault, one of the most influential figures in the wine world and owner of the iconic Château Latour. Rather than continuing the estate mechanically, a new long-term vision was formed, rooted in respect for place, precision, and terroir expression.
It was here, on the historic grounds of Clos Frantin, that Domaine d’Eugénie was born. A modern yet understated winery was created, one whose philosophy centers entirely on allowing the land to speak, rather than imposing technique or excess intervention.
The vineyards are situated on some of Burgundy’s most prestigious slopes, characterized by limestone and clay soils. These conditions allow Pinot Noir to express not only purity of fruit but also remarkable depth and minerality. Each parcel has its own microclimate, rhythm, and personality, and every plot is vinified separately to preserve its individual character.
From the very beginning, the estate embraced a low-intervention approach. Grapes are harvested by hand, carefully sorted, and fermented gently without aggressive techniques. Balance and elegance are paramount. The wines are never heavy or overworked; instead, they are defined by clarity, structure, and exceptional aging potential.
Since 2009, biodynamic practices have been gradually introduced in parts of the vineyard, strengthening soil vitality and enhancing the natural expression of the vines. This is not a marketing gesture, but a quiet, consistent commitment whose results are clearly felt in the glass.
Domaine d’Eugénie wines embody the essence of Vosne-Romanée, characterized by:
silky yet structured tannins,
refined and deeply layered aromatics,
long, slowly unfolding finishes,
and an ability to age gracefully for decades.
Today, Domaine d’Eugénie is regarded as one of the most serious and compelling estates of the new generation in Burgundy — a producer that honors tradition while shaping the future of great Pinot Noir.
