Notes from North Berkeley Imports:
"Subtle, harmonious, supple—Burgundy from Domaine Anne Gros is intimately tied with the elegant and poised character of wines from Vosne-Romanée. While each cru faithfully reflects its terroir, it is terroir as translated through Gros’ expert touch, offering richer aromatics, rounder curves, silkier tannins.
Anne Gros took over her father’s winery (Domaine François Gros) in the late 1980s. Yet there have been Gros family members in Vosne since the 1830s; land holdings have split among family members for generations. Today, there are four separate wineries in Vosne owned by the extended Gros family, including Domaine Anne Gros: Gros Frere et Soeur, Anne-Francoise Gros and Michel Gros, all of whom are Anne’s cousins."
Estate vines are located in the commune of Concoeur, a village in the Hautes-Cotes at 1,200 feet in altitude, just above Vosne-Romanée. Anne planted this southeast-facing site to Pinot Noir in the late 1990s (it was fallow before then). Vines are found on the lower, flatter part of the parcel, with shallow soils rich in fossilized material, very well-draining"
Jasper Morris:
"A lively ruby purple, with a floral take on raspberry on the nose. All on the fruit, gourmand, just enough acidity, minimal tannin, just a lovely juicy glass of pinot which persists nicely. "
