The vintage 2008 at Domaine d’Eugénie:
- Vosne-Romanée Villag
This wine is very well balanced with supple and fruity structure.
- Vosne-Romanée 1er cru «Aux Brûlées»
This wine is more fleshy and finer than the Villages bringing a complex aromatic palette which is characterized by the sunny terroir. It is a racy wine with long length in the mouth.
- Echezeaux
More masculine than les Grands-Echezeaux, the Echezeaux appears to be more strict. The wines have an aromatic palette with dark fruits and lovely tannins. The balance shows on troughout the length of the wine.
- Grands-Echezeaux
The Grands-Echezeaux symbolizes feminity and elegance, showing lovely strength. They are very expressive today, with also a racy structure and a soft, creamy texture.
- Clos-Vougeot
The Clos Vougeot surprised us with its straightforward elegance. More discreet than the other Grands Crus, Clos-Vougeot keeps a homogenous and solid structure. More powerful, an exceptional combination of the structure of the Echezeaux and finesse of the Grands-Echezeaux.
