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.

Soft, ripe red fruit on the nose with delicious smoky overtones. The red fruit characteristics are mirrored on the palate with fine balancing acidity and a very pretty finish. | ||||

Lovely deep rich purple colour. More discreet on the nose than the two Vosnes. The fruit is both clearly very ripe yet still with a fresh character and a finely balanced structure which will enable this to age well. Very long finish. | ||||

"Medium-full colour. Some development. Spicy nose. Some secondary flavours now. Aromatic. Gently oaky. As with all Engel's 2000s a bit more forward than most. Ripe and stylish. Medium to medium-full body. Long. Lovely. Drink 2007-2020." (Clive Coates - The Vine - Dec-2004) | ||||

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. (Jasper Morris, MW, BBR Burgundy ...

Splendidly rich in colour and bouquet, there is a level of detail in this over and above the Clos de Vougeot. Philippe decided to use 100% new wood for this, but the fruit swarms all over the oak. A wonderful wine which will drink in ten to fifteen years. | ||||
