RATINGS

93-95The Wine Advocate

...a crisp and poised bouquet with blackberry and blueberry, wonderful mineralité here and great precision... The palate is precise and structured. There is a superb backbone... a sense aristocracy here with great sustain on the finish.

93+ Stephen Tanzer

Perfumed scents of black raspberry and espresso complicated by soil-driven smoke and crushed-rock... great finesse... rose petal, saline minerality and pepper... true-to-its-terroir beauty really saturates the palate under a wave of flavor.

91-93Burghound.com

There is a lovely minerality to the supple and forward middle weight plus flavors where the mid-palate is almost soft. This is a somewhat curious showing as I like the refinement and impressive length...

Gamey nose with lift and refreshment. Although the palate is not that concentrated, the balance is good. Notably juicy. Wild flavours!

PRODUCER

Domaine Anne Gros

Domaine Anne Gros is a 20-acre estate in Vosne-Romanee, Burgundy, owned and operated by Anne Gros. As a young woman, Gros had no intention of following her father, Francois Gros, into the family business of making wine. She studied literature at university. But when her father became ill in 1988 she took over the estate, earned a degree in viticulture, and began winning critical praise for her wines. In 1995 Domaine Anne Gros was officially launched as a reflection of her stewardship of the estate. Anne Gros’ wines earn high praise from such writers as Clive Coates, who notes that “she has a pure, perfectionistic touch, and the results are wines of great refinement, intensity, purity and depth of character.” The domaine makes Richebourg, Echezeaux and Clos Vougeot Grand Crus, as well as other wines.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
