Goedhuis, 2005
Similar to the Vosne Romanée but with greater concentration and depth. A fruity core of raspberry and grapefruit is further enhanced by additional notes of smoky meat, clove, and molasses. Lovely density and balance. Drink:2009 - 2020

Burghound, January 2006, Score: 87-90
Noticeable wood spice frames more elegant, finer and slightly more expressive spicy black berry fruits and a subtle touch of warm earth that sets off the punchy and very fresh flavors that culminate in an edgy and still somewhat rough finish. This will require a few years in bottle to round out and fully harmonize. Drink: 2010+.Notes: from 60+ year old vines brought up in 60% new oak.

Domaine René Engel is between Nuits St. George and Gevrey-Chambertin, in the heart of one of the smallest communes but also one of the most prestigious, that René Engel founded the Domaine that bears his name. In 1981 Philippe Engel took over the domaine following his father's death. Philippe cares for thevineyard by replanting dead vine stock, purifying soil impoverished by potassium and reducing yields by means of a very severe selection of grapes using a sorting table. In the realm of vinification, he has replaced old barrels and has introduced more frequent racking. Light filtering has allowed him to produce more expressive wines gaining a reputation as fat, authentic and elegant. Recently joined by his brother Frédéric, Philippe believes in the terroir as well as producing quality wines with structure and personality.Read less

Region
Vosne Romanée
The vineyards of the modest village of Vosne Romanée are arguably the most sought after in the Côte d'Or. It is host to excellent Village and Premier Cru wines, but it is its most famous Grand Crusthat truly stand out: Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Grands Echézeaux, Echézeaux, Romanée St. Vivant and La Romanée as well as Cros Parentoux, a Premier Cru vineyard which attracts Grand Cru attention (and prices). Vosne-Romanée can be remarkably robust and powerful, yet be charming and fleshy giving it one of the most diverse styles of the region.
