Beginning with 2009, there will be a new wine, the Clos d'Eugenie, made from vines around the new winery in Vosne-Romanee, for which the owners traded their old Maizieres village holding to the Bichots. Director Frederic Engerer has also decided to declassify the bottom part of Vosne-Romanee Aux Brulees in the estate's village Vosne parcel owing to its richer soil, while keeping the much better chalkier, rockier top part, which is close to Echezeaux and Grands-Echezeaux, for the premier cru bottling. The harvest here in 2009 was carried out between September 14 and 17, with potential alcohols ranging from 13% to 13.7%. Winemaker Michel Mallard describes the 2009s as "very expressive, textured and aromatic: strangely approachable. One feels the alcohol more than the acidity." The plan was to bottle these wines earlier than usual, before the winter, for fear that they might lose more acidity. Mallard was one of several winemakers to mention the effect of the deluge on July 13/14 (about 120 millimeters of rain fell in Vosne-Romanee). "It increased the amount of juice in the grapes and ultimately resulted in silkier, more aromatic wines with less tension."
