2014 Domaine d'Eugenie Vosne-Romanee Clos d'Eugenie (Monopole)
Other Reviews....
A top note of menthol is present on the more elegant and slightly spicier nose of violets, tea and black pinot fruit. There is a more refined mouth feel to the rich and relatively generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors that possess a seductively textured mouth feel before culminating in a detailed and slightly more complex finale. Lovely and this excellent Vosne villages could also be enjoyed young though aged to good effect as well. Drink 2022+.

Matured in around one-third new oak, the 2014 Vosne Romanée le Clos d'Eugenie was stubbornly closed when I tasted it from barrel, though there is a light marine influence that appears with aeration. The palate is well balanced with fine tannin, good density here, and a touch of oak to be subsumed on the finish. It is nicely focused, although it just feels a little static at the moment. Drink 2017 - 2024.

(from a crop level of 31 hectoliters per hectare and vinified with one-third whole clusters): Bright medium red. Darker and riper on the nose than the basic village bottling, showing good lift to its aromas of black cherry, dark berries, licorice and violet. This juicy, dry, rather elegantly styled wine offers an attractive balance of berry intensity and saline minerality. Finishes with suave tannins and very good subtle length. No shortage of volume in this excellent village bottling. Drink 2020 - 2028.
