"The 1998 Clos Vougeot from Domaine Engel is excellent, offering up a youthful nose of ripe plums, chocolate, herb tones, forest floor, just a touch of stems and a generous coating of toasty oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and beginning to show some secondary tones, with fine focus, good depth at the core, and fine length and grip on the modestly tannic finish. This is another 1998 that is beginning to drink very well right now, but which will continue to improve for a number of years. Quite impressive, and another producer who uses plenty of new wood but managed to get the wine into bottle without drying it out one bit."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
