The 2019 Domaine d’Eugénie Clos Vougeot is a Grand Cru Burgundy from the historic Clos de Vougeot vineyard in France’s Côte de Nuits. Produced exclusively from Pinot Noir by Domaine d’Eugénie, this wine reflects the estate’s refined and low-intervention winemaking philosophy, focusing on vineyard transparency, precision and long-term ageing potential. The excellent 2019 vintage delivered ripe fruit concentration balanced by freshness and refined tannin structure, resulting in a wine with both power and finesse. The nose is layered and expressive, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and plum alongside violet, forest floor, spice and subtle earthy minerality.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with polished tannins and vibrant acidity that provide structure and persistence. Flavours of dark berry fruits, red cherry and cranberry unfold alongside savoury notes of dried herbs, clove and restrained oak influence developed through careful maturation. The limestone and clay-rich soils of Clos Vougeot contribute notable mineral tension and depth, while the estate’s restrained style preserves aromatic detail and purity of fruit. The finish is long, dry and finely structured with lingering dark fruit, spice and earthy nuances.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Grand Cru Burgundy for collectors and customers seeking a cellar-worthy Pinot Noir with depth, finesse and classic Côte de Nuits character. The 2019 vintage already shows remarkable balance while retaining the capacity to evolve beautifully over the next 15–20 years. Best served slightly below room temperature with roast duck, venison, mushroom dishes or aged soft-rind cheeses.
