Domaine d’Eugénie: the former René Engel estate

Domaine d’Eugénie is based in Vosne-Romanée. The Pinault family bought the René Engel vineyards in July 2006, after Philippe Engel died in May 2005 without a natural successor. About 20 percent of the vines were missing when the new team inspected the vineyards in September 2006, and a replanting programme followed. The first vintage under the new ownership was 2006. The estate now belongs to the Artémis Domaines group and describes its viticulture as organic and biodynamic from its inception.

Michel Mallard was winemaker from 2006 through the end of 2024, so he made the 2012. The cellar has stood on Rue de la Goillote in Vosne-Romanée since 2009. The estate farms 7.9 ha in 11 appellations across eight communes, including five grand crus. Grand cru wines were matured in about 80 percent new oak in the early vintages.
