About this Item

Clos de Vougeot, 1996
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

René Engel founded the domaine, located in Vosne-Romanée, in1919 after escaping a POW camp after the First World War. The domaine continued in the family with René’s son, Pierre, and grandson, Philippe. However, Philippe’s sudden passing at the age of 49 lead to the sale of the domaine to Francois Pinault, owner of Château Latour. The name was changed to Domaine Eugenie, and has since produced wine under its own name.

Critics Ratings

‘This medium-to-dark ruby-colored wine was outstanding. Profound aromas of deeply ripe red cherries, blueberries, and blackberries steeped in hoisin sauce are followed by a medium-to-full-bodied, beautifully ripened, and silky-textured core of black fruits, beef blood, porcini mushrooms, and hints of earth. This wine's outstanding finish reveals loads of supple tannins complemented by blackberry flavors. Projected maturity: 2003-2009.’ – Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate (RobertParker.com), 90-93/100 (1998)
