Amazing mazon sbiatti This bottling is from the British wine merchant Avery's. who bought barrels of wine and brought them to England for bottling until the practice was banned. The wine would have been labeled Domaine René Engel in France, but it was under the stewardship of his son Pierre at the time of this bottling. The wines under his reign were quite notable through the 1969 vintage. Pierre fell ill in 1970, and the estate was neglected until Pierre's son Philippe took over after wine school. The vintage was very good in Burgundy, though it is often overlooked because it was such a disaster in Bordeaux, says K&L's Burgundy buyer Keith Wollenberg. In 1999, the critic Clive Coates of the Vine wrote of this wine: "Full, very vigorous colour. Hardly any sign of age. Full, ample and spicy. Fat and Plump. Very good grip. This has length and quality and richness...Yet it has the fat, succulence, intensity and vigour. Fine Plus."
