Bid on this bottle of 1985 Domaine René Engel Clos Vougeot Grand Cru (96RP). Wine Advocate: "Tasted at the Domaine Engel tasting in London, the 1985 Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru was a brilliant mature Burgundy at its peak. It has a fragrant and disarmingly pure bouquet with red plum, orange rind, minerals and rose petal aromas that almost "swarm" towards you. The palate is very well structured with black rather than red fruit infused with subtle marmalade and sour cherry notes. It is blessed with palpable mineralité, the terroir coming through uninhibited. What a fabulous mature Clos Vougeot from the late Philippe Engel, about as good as this medieval grand cru gets. À point. (NM)" (01/2017)

01/2017Notes
The Burgundy Report on Engels' Clos Vougeot, one of the best bottlings from this historic estate: "The Clos de Vougeot is one of the highest regarded from that Grand Cru, many ethusiasts putting the Engel version in their top five producers – a large proportion of the vines here are ~85+ years old, though dead dying vines are being continuously replaced."
