Domaine d'Eugénie

Michel Mallard must consider himself the luckiest winemaker in Burgundy because he gets to see me twice each year, once at his family domaine in Ladoix and the second here at Domaine d’Eugénie. “We started the harvest on 9 September although the whites were picked earlier. I used slightly more whole bunches on the 2019. For the first time we plunged by hand, though not much as the tannic structure came quickly and when we pumped over we just used gravity. We did not use pumps at all. The Clos d’Eugénie will be bottled in January whilst the others will be racked in February and bottled a couple of months later. I think we have more finesse in the 2019s than in 2018s. We have more red fruit in 2019 and just a little greenness that brings the wines freshness. There are two appellations that gained something in 2019 - Aux Brûlées and Echézeaux.”

Mallard has really begun to put his own stamp on these wines that are far more finessed and terroir-driven than those produced when the domaine debuted with their 2006s. Case in point, the Grands-Echézeaux was one of the finest that I encountered, a splendid and regal wine with haunting complexity. In fact, all the Grand Crus deliver, which is a good job since that represents more or less half the portfolio.
