RENE ENGEL
A visionary domaine in Vosne-Romanée, René Engel, is known for its historically excellent production and passionate, family-run business. René co-founded the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin 1934 with his friends Camille Rodier and Jacques Prieur. His grandson, Philippe, took over for father Pierre in 1981. He was known for his elegant winemaking, which highlighted the fruit, only using about 50% or less new oak. Like his father and grandfather, Engel supported low yields (rarely above 35hl/ha) as well as extremely clean equipment and only the best fruit. He kept the family tradition for perfectionist winemaking until his untimely death in 2005. François Pinault purchased the estate from Rene Engel in 2006 and created the Domaine d'Eugenie.
Production for this estate includes: a village Vosne-Romanée from numerous plots totaling approximately 2.5 hectares; a premier cru Les Brûlées (1.05 hectares) from old vines, from vines planted in 1956 or older; and three grands crus, Echézeaux (0.55 hectares), Clos Vougeot (1.37 hectares) and Grands Echézeaux (0.50 hectares).
