Vintage Character The 2021 vintage in Burgundy’s Clos Vougeot Grand Cru was defined by a cool spring and significant frost events, followed by a mild summer, resulting in wines noted for their finesse, purity, and vibrant freshness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Domaine d’Eugénie Clos Vougeot Grand Cru 2021, awarded 94 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, exemplifies the pedigree of this historic terroir with an expressive bouquet of wild cherry, rose petal, and subtle earthy nuances, complemented by hints of spice and forest floor. The palate delivers precise red fruit flavors, silky tannins, and lively acidity, culminating in a long, mineral-driven finish that reflects the classic clay-limestone soils of Clos Vougeot. Its refined structure makes it a superb match for roast duck with cherry sauce, grilled veal chops, or a delicate mushroom risotto, and it pairs beautifully with a fine Comté cheese for an indulgent touch.
