  The 2017 Vosne-Romanée le Clos d’Eugénie is matured in one-third new oak and includes 60% whole clusters, from what was apparently the largest crop produced, at 42hl/ha, after the two green harvests. This displays more red fruit than the Village Cru and also slightly better delineation. The palate is balanced with saturated tannin, a fine bead of acidity, moderate depth and a touch of dark chocolate toward the linear finish. Perhaps like the Village Cru, I would like to see more Pinot Noir expression.

  Here the expressive nose is at once spicier and a bit more elegant as well with its array of more evident floral influence on the black cherry aromas that are trimmed in a discreet application of wood. The rich and relatively full-bodied flavors possess a velvety texture thanks to the sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the moderately firm tannic spine shaping the delicious and lingering finish that is slightly firmer. This will need at least a few years of cellaring first and should easily reward up to a decade. Drink 2025+
