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 vines are located in the lieu-dit of ‘Le Grand Maupertui,’ located in the southwest-quadrant of Clos Vougeot. Some vines were planted in 1905; average vine age is 60 years. Gently sloped; soils mix clay and limestone.
Tasting Note: Aromas of purple wildflowers, black cherry, plum, blueberry. Medium-bodied; ripe red/black fruits. Light herbs and peppery spice. Structured, fine-grained tannins.
Wine Pairing: Aged local French cheese; charcuterie; pork sausages with herbs
Vinous: 92-94 Points
The 2020 Clos de Vougeot le Grand Maupertui Grand Cru has an intense, quite penetrating bouquet with copious black cherry and cassis scents interwoven with rose petal and violet aromas. The palate is quite dense and multi-layered with dark berry fruit laced with white pepper and bay leaf that builds towards quite a backward finish that will requite 8-10 years to reach its drinking window. A lot of wine in this Clos Vougeot.
Burghound: 90-92 Points
Here too the ripe nose is attractively spicy though with more earth influence on the nicely fresh aromas of various dark berries, plum and cassis. The relatively supple middle weight flavors possess good vibrancy though the dusty finish is borderline drying.
