2002 | Domaine René Engel | Vosne Romanee

The 2002 vosne-romanee, a medium to dark ruby-colored wine. its up-front, gorgeously sweet aromatics reveal raspberries and cherries. on the palate, this softly textured, medium-bodied wine bursts with satiny red fruits as well as hints of cola. it is extroverted yet possesses excellent structure.

Reviews:

• Allen Meadows: the nose is spicy and sexy with exuberant and pure black fruit aromas followed by rich and fairly ripe flavors that offer both velvet and plenty of delineation on the long finish.Producer Information

Domaine René Engel was one of the leading lights of Vosne-Romanée until the tragic death of Philippe Engel, grandson of the founder, in 2005. Philippe took over the domaine on the early death of his father Pierre in 1981. However he continued to benefit from the advice of his legendary grandfather, René Engel, for several years, though occasionally having to ban him from the cellar when his interventions were becoming too intrusive. By the early 1990s he had established his reputation for making exceptionally delicious wines. He had a light hand with extraction, preferring to emphasise the natural qualities of the fruit, supported by the judicious use of new oak – rarely more than 50% except for the grand crus in exceptional vintages. The wines were fine and elegant, deceptively approachable when young though capable of long ageing. Perhaps the heyday of Philippe’s period in charge was around 1992 and 1993, by which time he had fully found his style and was running the domaine with energy and passion.The flagship of the 6 hectare domaine was a wonderful Clos Vougeot from near the top of the Clos, along with a very fine Grands Echezeaux. These were supported by a third grand cru, Echezeaux, premier cru Vosne Romanée Les Brulées and a delicious village Vosne Romanée.
