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.
Tasting Note: Aromas of dried roses, violet, licorice, warm spices, black/red fruits. Expressive aromas, tightly wound core; earthy, herbs, leather and black fruits.
Wine Pairing: Aged local French cheese; charcuterie; pork sausages with herbs
Vinous: 92-94 Points
The 2021 Richebourg Grand Cru has a beautifully-defined bouquet, dark berries with lots of undergrowth, light shaved black truffle aromas. The mineralité shines through here. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, crisp and quite linear for a Richebourg. Though not persistent as recent vintages, it maintains superb focus with a residual white pepper tinged aftertaste. Excellent.
Burghound: 92-94 Points
A highly spiced and exuberantly fresh nose freely reveals its aromas of essence of red berries, sandalwood, clove, crushed fennel and exotic tea. There is a big step up in volume to the noticeably denser larger-scaled flavors that exhibit very good power and minerality on the balanced, moderately austere and impressively long finish. This is already displaying much better than average depth and this is also quite good.
