Domaine Anne Gros
Blue-chip vineyard holdings and an unswerving commitment to purity rather than power in the cellar have given this small domaine, and its sometimes initially austere wines, an immediately recognisable signature and a strong international following. Village AOC Chambolle-Musigny (La Combe d’Orveaux) and Vosne-Romanée (Les Barreaux) far outperform their appellation level, a reflection no doubt of their superior location, respectively next to grands crus Musigny and Richebourg. The precision and intensity of flavour attained by the domaine’s old vine parcel of Clos de Vouget, Le Grand Maupertui, make it a strong contender among Burgundians for the honour of best bottle from that very fragmented vineyard even though Vosne native Anne Gros cannot hide her hometown allegiance to the suave complexity of the domaine’s magnificent Richebourg. An inherited parcel of Echezeaux was a welcome addition to Anne’s grand cru lineup from the 2007 vintage.
These wines are offered on an allocation basis.
