Domaine d'Eugénie, owned by François Pinault, is known for integrating biodynamic practices into its viticulture. The 2016 vintage in Burgundy presented challenges due to spring frosts, which impacted yields, yet the resulting grapes demonstrated notable freshness and aromatic clarity. The 2016 Vosne-Romanée Clos d'Eugenie, a monopole vineyard situated just below La Tache, was crafted with 60% whole cluster fruit, and three of its seven barrels were new. This wine has received strong professional reviews, including 90-92 points from Wine Advocate, 89-92 from Burghound, and 89-91 from Vinous. Burghound specifically noted its "very Vosne in character" and suggested it "should also drink well young as well as repay up to a decade of cellaring." This wine offers a very detailed bouquet, where the whole cluster contribution subtly lends freshness and complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with a pure, pastille-like entry, showing good density and balance. The nose is cool, pure, and spicy, with notes of black cherry, violet, lavender, and orange peel. Flavors are juicy, round, and highly seductive, brimming with sappy dry extract that buffers slightly firm tannins on a long finish. It presents a bright medium-dark red color with aromas of black cherry and licorice lifted by a suave floral element, leading to juicy, spicy, and intense dark fruit and mineral flavors. Other notes include red fruit (cranberry), earthy (forest floor, mushroom), spices (cinnamon, licorice, white pepper), oak (vanilla, baking spice), floral (perfume, violet), and black fruit (black cherry). User reviews mention a floral nose with sappy red and purple fruit, gentle oak treatment, and a darker, extracted but not over-the-top style. 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This red Burgundy is an excellent match for beef, veal, poultry, and game (deer, venison). 🥂 Event suggestions: 【Monopole vineyard Vosne-Romanée Clos d'Eugenie, showcasing unique terroir and excellent aging potential】 This versatile wine can be enjoyed now after some decanting or cellared for further development.
