Winemaker Michel Mallard described this estate's 2013s as "silky, taut and precise, and rather saline in style." They displayed outstanding sappy energy and mineral reserve when I tried them in December. As in 2014, Mallard vinified with about one-third whole clusters.

Winemaker Michel Mallard was not the only one who described his 2013 reds as "like an easier version of 2010." In fact, I got the impression that he prefered the newer set of wines. He went on: "The 2013s are condensed and sappy, very pinot: precise, elegant, fine. And the 2012s are more accessible right now than the 2013s: they may be for drinking before and after the '13s." Domaine D'Eugénie harvested between October 2 and 8, picking less than one hectare per day, and doing a last triage in the winery after eliminating dried and underripe grapes in the vines. Potential alcohol levels were between 11.8% and 12.4% and the grand crus will eventually be bottled at close to 13%. With the exception of the basic village cuvée, all of these wines were vinified with one-third whole clusters. The malolactic fermentations finished here by the end of May but, except for the basic Vosne-Romanée, the wines had not been racked at the time of my early November visit.
