Rene Engel
Based in Vosne-Romanee, this producer is named for the vigneron who brought the family domaine and indeed much of Burgundy into the modern era. Rene Engel founded the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin and helped raise the profile of the region’ finest wines which had previously been surprisingly difficult to sell. No longer the case; Engel’s wines are among the most highly-prized in Burgundy.

(1x75cl) 1998Vinous (87+)
Bright red-ruby. Vibrant, complex nose combines black cherry, licorice, flowers and herbs. Then surprisingly closed in the middle palate, with the fruit shortened by strong, tongue-dusting tannins. Distinctly dry on the back end today. Does this have enough mid-palate material to reward aging?Inc. VAT£3,833.60 -
(12x75cl) 2001Inc. VAT£24,421.96 -
Vinous (96)
Another strong showing for the 2002 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru from the late Philippe Engel. The nose is ethereal, offering raspberry and crushed strawberry scents, and the palate is extraordinary in terms of focus. The finish oddly reminds me of Engel's Grands Echézeaux. Magnificent. Tasted at Noizé restaurant in London.Inc. VAT£34,151.04 -

(1x75cl) 1999Vinous (86-89)
Good ruby-red. Expressive aromas of redcurrant, leather, smoke and meat. A step up in intensity and texture from the Brulees, with higher-toned, rather sauvage flavors of black raspberry and leather. Finishes with ripe tannins, good length and a bit of wood spice.Inc. VAT£3,820.40 -
(12x75cl) 2001Burghound (92)
I slightly misjudged this as it has really harmonized in the last 6 months with its explosive and spicy black fruit nose and robust yet stylish and classy full-bodied flavors of considerable depth, weight, power and length. A really lovely effort of impressive ripeness and density for the vintage and one that should amply reward patience over the medium term. In short, this is most impressive.Inc. VAT£53,107.27 -

(1x75cl) 2000Vinous (94)
The 2000 Grands-Echézeaux Grand Cru is a magnificent wine considering the growing season, testament to the late Philippe Engel. Cranberry and wild hedgerow on the vivacious nose with that hint of kirsch observed on previous bottles, the palate is poised and ineffably refined, balletic in poise with supple, lightly spiced but extremely persistent finish. Just a stunning wine for the vintage. Tasted at a private dinner at Lorne restaurant in London.Inc. VAT£3,514.92 -
