The 2010 Burgundy vintage for reds, though marked by a cold winter and a 25% deficit in red wine production compared to 2009, is celebrated as an "exciting and ultra-classic vintage of refinement and balance". Domaine d'Eugenie, formerly Domaine Rene Engel, was acquired by François Pinault in 2006, bringing a new era to this esteemed estate. The Vosne-Romanée Aux Brûlées vineyard is exceptionally well-situated, lying just ten feet from the renowned Richebourg Grand Cru. Wines from this vintage are noted for their intense spice and depth, with a mid-weight structure that promises further softening with age.

Stand the bottle upright for several days before serving to allow any natural sediment to settle at the bottom.

Decant carefully, ideally just before serving, to preserve its delicate tertiary aromas. Serve in appropriate Burgundy glasses to fully appreciate its intricate bouquet and elegant structure.
