Huge deep black purple. A sweet dense dark fruit, blacker notes, no wood taste because of the intensity of the fruit, all in balance. Distinguished with a pleasing freshness of dark raspberry, very long. Finesse and balance and a vineyard which can support the new wood every year according to Emmanuel Rouget. I did note some dry wood tannins but that may be actually a good thing, alongside the succulence of the fruit.Inc. GSTSG$11,947.40 -

Good medium red. Subtle, pure, high-pitched aromas of black cherry, blackberry, violet and licorice. Chewy, intense and penetrating, with plenty of stem-driven energy behind the saline, soil-driven flavors of minerals, dark berries and graphite. There's no easy sweetness here, but this builds impressively in the glass and leaves the taste buds quivering on the very long, lightly peppery back end. These firm tannins will need a decade of patience. Like the Grands-Echezeaux, this wine was aged in 80% to 90% new oak.Inc. GSTSG$2,421.41 -

Last tasted in 2022, the 2016 Clos de Vougeot from Domaine d’Eugenie was a bit forbidding, with the fresh acidity and firm grip still very apparent. With a few more years in bottle, the edges have smoothed, rounded, and filled out. There are still profuse aromas of mulberry and pomegranate fruit, but there are more notes of earth, mineral, and spice; the texture is more dense than angular, but the finish has lost none of its length – this is maturing well, and should last another another 20 to 30 years.Inc.

The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a quietly impressive nose with precise, minerally red berry fruit and hints of tomato vine in the background. Returning after ten minutes, the whole clusters come through strongly and might be off-putting to some as they impart a greenness. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. Again, quite raw and herbaceous (stemmy) towards the finish, although if you like your Clos Vougeot on the "peppery" side, then you might like this more. This is all about conjecture. If those stems do manage to fully assimilate, then this could be blindingly good but if not… Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.Inc. GSTSG$1,858.12 -
Eugenie Clos-Vougeot Grand Cru 2022 is a sublime embodiment of Burgundy's esteemed terroir, expertly crafted by the venerable Clos-Vougeot estate. Nestled in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the vineyards benefit from the optimal limestone-rich soils that impart distinctive minerality to the wine. The 2022 harvest witnessed ideal growing conditions, allowing the Pinot Noir grapes to achieve perfect ripeness and depth of flavour. Hand-harvested with meticulous attention, the fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit’s vibrant character. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 months in a selection of French oak barrels, enhancing its complexity with nuanced layers of spice and vanilla without overpowering its innate elegance. On the palate, Eugenie Clos-Vougeot Grand Cru 2022 reveals an intricate tapestry of red cherries, floral notes, and subtle earthiness, supported by finely woven tannins and a lingering finish.

Powerful dark plum and cassis fruit, with impressive structure and power. Despite the stuffing, this wine never loses sight of its elegance. Bravo! Domaine d’Eugénie is the current proprietor of this parcel which was once owned by Domaine René Engel. It is a 1.34ha plot that averages 60-70 years of age even with some interplanting; the youngest vines are all declassified.

The 2021 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru has a quietly impressive nose with precise, minerally red berry fruit and hints of tomato vine in the background. Returning after ten minutes, the whole clusters come through strongly and might be off-putting to some as they impart a greenness. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. Again, quite raw and herbaceous (stemmy) towards the finish, although if you like your Clos Vougeot on the "peppery" side, then you might like this more. This is all about conjecture. If those stems do manage to fully assimilate, then this could be blindingly good but if not… Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.In BondSG$1,675.00 -
Eugenie Clos-Vougeot Grand Cru 2022 is a sublime embodiment of Burgundy's esteemed terroir, expertly crafted by the venerable Clos-Vougeot estate. Nestled in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, the vineyards benefit from the optimal limestone-rich soils that impart distinctive minerality to the wine. The 2022 harvest witnessed ideal growing conditions, allowing the Pinot Noir grapes to achieve perfect ripeness and depth of flavour. Hand-harvested with meticulous attention, the fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruit’s vibrant character. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 months in a selection of French oak barrels, enhancing its complexity with nuanced layers of spice and vanilla without overpowering its innate elegance. On the palate, Eugenie Clos-Vougeot Grand Cru 2022 reveals an intricate tapestry of red cherries, floral notes, and subtle earthiness, supported by finely woven tannins and a lingering finish. This exemplary vintage showcases the producer’s commitment to sustainable viticulture and traditional winemaking techniques, ensuring a harmonious and memorable expression of Grand Cru distinction.

Ruby-red. Perfumed, inviting aromas of bitter chocolate, blood orange and Moroccan spices. Round, concentrated and ripe, with sappy density to the flavors of dark fruits and spices. This is much easier to taste today than the Brulees. Finishes with sweet, ripe, even tannins and excellent length. Should be superb.In BondSG$2,855.00 -

(from the lieu-dit En Orveaux; just 28 hectoliters per hectare produced): Dark, bright red. Captivating aromas of cherry, red berries and dried flowers are accented by topnotes of white pepper and high-pitched spices. Juicy, spicy, penetrating and dry, with a floral light touch and terrific energy giving its tactile fruit a distinctly sappy character. Finishes with suave, fine-grained tannins and excellent glistening, rising length. Incidentally, these vines were 80% frosted in 2016, according to Mallard.In BondSG$3,050.00
