Domaine René Engel


Domaine René Engel was one of the leading lights of Vosne-Romanée until the tragically early death of Philippe Engel, grandson of the founder, in 2005. Philippe had been in charge of the domaine since 1981 and by the early 1990s had established his reputation for making exceptionally delicious wines. He had a light hand with extraction, preferring to emphasise the natural qualities of the fruit, supported by the judicious use of new oak – rarely more than 50% except for the grand crus in exceptional vintages.

The flagship of the 6 hectare domaine was a wonderful Clos Vougeot from near the top of the Clos, along with a very fine Grands Echezeaux. These were supported by a third grand cru, Echezeaux, premier cru Vosne Romanée Les Brulées and a delicious village Vosne Romanée.

The domaine was sold to Francois Pinault (of Château Latour fame) and is now known as Domaine Eugénie.

"This 2004 Vosne Romanée was the last vintage made by Philippe Engel before his untimely death at the age of 49, after which the domaine was sold. He had a marvellously deft touch as a vigneron, making delicately scented red wines with a core of sensual fruit, avoiding aggressive tannins or too much oak influence. This wine is now delicious to drink, with the gentle, complex flavours of maturing pinot mixing in with the red fruit fragrance of youth. Try with lighter game birds such as partridge, or a shoulder of lamb with garlic and rosemary, but avoid powerful sauces."
(Jasper Morris MW, BBR Buyer)

Again they have produced a wine with a deliciously perfumed and lightly spicy nose, but this time with an extra dimension of fruit. Not a massive wine but the flavours linger in the mouth. Drink 2009 to 2014. MORE

This is fuller purple in colour and has an extra degree of concentration on the nose. A superb, seamless, fruit-forward, ultra-long wine which has an intensity of very ripe cherries dominating the palate. It's very easy to fall in love with this.
