// Arriving April 2026
"Long-time régisseur Michel Mallard is leaving to return to his family domaine in Ladoix as of the end of the year. His replacement is the oenologist Jaeok Chu Cramette (better known simply as Jae Chu). She hails from Korea and has held a variety of posts in the wine world since 2002, including an internship at Eugénie with Mallard between 2009 and 2011, then as a full-time employee of Eugénie between 2015 and 2019 and finally as director of the Artemis Domaines' holding of Château Grillet between 2019 and 2024 before being appointed as the head of Eugénie." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
"(2023) was a year of abundance as we went through our vineyards three times to drop fruit and even with this care, yields still came in as the most we have ever made! We picked between the 1st and 9th of September and there was a lot of sorting required for various reasons but in particular to guard against acetic acid taint due to the Suzukii flies. We did a light saignée (bleeding of the must) just to add a bit of density while using between 15 and 80% whole clusters for the vinifications. As to the wines, we are frankly very pleasantly surprised by the quality given the yields. They're fresh, perfumed and wines of finesse while offering good terroir transparency. There's no reason that they shouldn't age well, particularly since we think they're well-balanced." - Michel Mallard & Jae Chu, Winemakers
"A more floral and more elegant nose speaks of red cherry, violet and exotic tea scents. There is slightly better vibrancy to the bigger and slightly richer, if less mineral-inflected flavors that conclude in a youthfully austere and sneaky long finale that is just a bit firmer." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
"The 2023 Vosne-Romanée le Clos d'Eugénie includes 40% whole bunch this year. It has more intensity than the regular Village with brambly red fruit, briar and light tobacco scents. Fresh and open, the palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit and a keen line of acidity, though it needs a little more body on the finish. This will drink well in its flush of youth and should fill out during the remainder of its élevage." - Neal Martin, Vinous
