Red dry
This wine perfectly represents the character of the Clos de Vougeot appellation, renowned for its elegant, long-aging red wines.
"Domaine d'Eugénie Clos-Vougeot" is crafted from Pinot Noir grapes grown on a 1.37-hectare plot located in the upper part of the hillside slope. The soil of this plot is clay limestone, while the lower section of the parcel is dominated by clay and loamy limestone.
The 2021 "Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru" unfolds with intense aromas of black fruits, complemented by subtle nuances of iris and a hint of graphite. This wine stands out for its grainy tannins, is exceptionally concentrated yet equally mineral, and boasts a long, rich finish.
Serve at 14–16 °C with beef stew, semi-hard cheeses or duck breast.
75% whole bunch vinification, aged in eleven new barrels out of sixteen. The deepest colour in the range, a solid dark purple. The bouquet is very powerful, plenty of oak but with a strong deep fruit underlining it. This is very full indeed yet again, without quite the snap of precision. The oak is properly integrated at the back of the palate. Good length but the fruit does not swarm all over the finish as it can do. Even so, there is a great deal in reserve here. Drink from 2030-2040. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Nov 2022.
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.
