Domaine Anne Gros Description
Subtle, harmonious, supple—Burgundy from Domaine Anne Gros is intimately tied with the elegant, poised character of wines from VosneRomanée. While each cru faithfully reflects its terroir, it is terroir as translated through Anne’s expert touch, offering richer aromatics, rounder curves, silkier tannins. The combination is irresistible; so much so that Anne’s limited production is snapped up by global collectors faster and faster each vintage. To be sure, Anne Gros is one of the top winemakers in Burgundy today, which explains why her wines inspire such a cult-like following. There have been Gros family members in Vosne since the 1830s; Anne took the reins of her father’s winery (Domaine François Gros) in the late 1980s.
Estate holdings total just over one acre of vines in the northern section of Richebourg (climat ‘Les Verroilles’ or ‘Richebourgs’), higher up the slope. Soils are mostly brown limestone with small white stones.
Vinous: 95-97 Points
The 2020 Richebourg Grand Cru has a beautifully-defined bouquet with predominately red berry mixed with a little blackcurrant, sous-bois and blood orange. This opens wonderfully with just a few swirls of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied, shows exquisite balance, the archetypical iron fist in a velvet glove. That probably sums this Richebourg up completely.
Burghound: 91-94 Points
Deft but perceptible wood sets off the ripe and fresh purple fruit and super-spicy nose. The supple and equally delicious but solidly concentrated mid-palate immediately tightens up while displaying excellent length on the youthfully austere, muscular and robust finish that makes clear that this is built to reward long-term cellaring.
