Terroir Insight: Domaine d’Eugenie Clos de Vougeot

By Steen Öhman January 8, 2022 -

The Clos de Vougeot (the vineyard) and Clos Vougeot (the wine) is one of the most prominent grand crus, despite ranking below the very top of the tree. Few would compare it with Romanee-Conti, La Romanée, La Tâche, Richebourg, Romanée Saint-Vivant, Richebourg, Musigny Clos Saint-Denis, Chambertin, …

Terroir Insight: Domaine Thomas-Collardot Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères

By Steen Öhman September 14, 2021 - Leave a Comment

Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères is a vineyard producing many different wines, from the elusive and expensive Domaine d'Auvenay to some very small, interesting cuvees from new and exciting producers. One of my favourite wines from the Enseignères vineyard comes from Domaine …

Terroir Insight: Domaine d’Auvenay Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères

By Steen Öhman September 7, 2021 - Leave a Comment

By Steen Öhman July 20, 2021 -

Terroir Insight: Cécile Tremblay Vosne-Romanee Les Beaumonts

By Steen Öhman January 25, 2021 - Leave a Comment

Beaumonts; Beaux Monts; Beauxmonts - whatever the spelling, the name means delightful pinot with many variations. It is a large vineyard covering the slope above Vosne-Romanee Les Suchots towards Flagey-Echezeaux. Cecile Tremblay has a lovely plot in the centre of the vineyard with old vines, and …
