Tasting Notes
Complex aromas of blackberry, mulberry, and black cherry with a charming floral overtone. Muscular and unyielding with firm, prominent tannins create the backbone of the wine, yet somehow there’s an element of grace and purity about this Échezeaux too. A multilayered hedgerow fruit core interlocks with savoury and toasted oak spice on the fine, focused finish. A blockbuster.
Produced from vines with an average age of 90-year-old. Sections of the vineyards are currently being replanted, and therefore only 0.45-hectares are in production.
The name Gros is one of the most famous in the Côte de Nuits, synonymous with great Vosne Romaneé. The original Gros domaine is now divided amongst four family members. Anne-Françoise, daughter of Jean Gros, married into another great Burgundy dynasty, the Parent family of Pommard. In 1998 François Parent and Anne Françoise combined their domaines to create a superb 10 hectare property comprising some of the finest terroirs in the Côte d’Or. Today their children Caroline and Mathias run the estate, with Mathias ever experimenting and pushing boundaries in both vineyard and cellar.
