Domaine Anne Gros is a small Burgundy estate based in Vosne-Romanée, producing a range of bright, precise and elegant wines from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
The domaine has a total of 6.5 hectares (16 acres) across nine appellations, including parcels in the Grand Cru vineyards Clos Vougeot, Echezeaux and Richebourg. Anne Gros also makes village-level Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny wines, as well as generic Bourgogne wines.
Anne Gros is part of an extensive winemaking family, and succeeded her father in 1988; the estate was named Domaine Anne et François Gros until 1995. Domaine Gros Frère et Souer, Domaine Michel Gros, and Domaine A.F. Gros are all run by Gros’ cousins – the latter, run by Anne-Françoise Gros, is easily confused with Domaine Anne Gros.

Here too the wood fights somewhat with the spicier and more elegant aromas of red currant and floral notes. The supple, round and forward middle weight flavors exude a bead of minerality on the attractively intense, persistent and precise finish. As I noted in my introduction this isn’t exactly light but it lacks the power and mid-palate density that one should reasonably expect from a top flight grand cru. In sum this is pretty rather than deep though kudos for being deceptively long.
