Domaine d'Eugenie, Clos de Eugenie Vosne-Romanee 2011

Jancis Robinson
"Quite a deep colour. Very lively and rich and with real character and substance. Long. Very good for village wine. 17/20 points."

Vinous Reverie Notes
A monopole of the Domaine, below La Tache and next to Vosne Romanee les Chaumes 1er Cru. Domaine d’Eugenie was created by Francois Pinault in 2006. Pinault, who owns Chateau Latour in Bordeaux, wanted to create a top Burgundy domaine. Pinault was in need of a estate where he could make the wine, and after producing the wines in a rented facility in Nuits-Saint-Georges he acquired the Frantin estate from Bichot. The village vineyard Clos Frantin was included in the deal, and in 2011 this vineyard was officially renamed to Clos d’Eugenie when the 2009 vintage was released from Domaine d’Eugenie.
