1991 Vosne Romanee Les Brulees

In 1991, young Philippe Engel decided to utilize a higher percentage of new oak, extend his cold maceration prior to fermentation to 4-5 days, and put his wines in the bottle without filtration. The results are wines that rival his 1990s. The 1991 Vosne-Romanee-Les Brulees exhibits a smoky, roasted nose, admirable sweet black fruit, and an overall sense of elegance and precision. It is a soft, pleasant, ripe wine without excessive tannin.
