Tasting Notes

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.

The plot in this excellent lieu-dit is located on the Nuits-Saint-Georges / Vosne-Romanée border and is flanked by the Premier Cru Clos des Réas to the north, as well as Les Jacquines and Au-dessus de la Rivière vineyards to the south.

Serious, brooding aromas of red and black cherry, raspberry, and tayberry with a delicate floral uplift. Soft, silky, and super pure on the mid-palate thanks to ripe, rounded tannins and svelte mouthfeel that builds into a crescendo of melange of red and black summer berries with added black pepper and clove spice. Finely tuned and focused… no wonder it’s always a firm favourite. Bravo, Mathias!

Critic Scores

Pulled out half a hectare (161/49 rootstock issue) after 2022 and replanted in 2023. Mid crimson to ruby, with a slightly more savoury nose than the Chalandins. Discreet up front then some cherries emerge further back. A spicy style of Vosne after the gloss of Chalandins, with perhaps greater length as well as structure. Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted Oct 2024.

About this Wine

Burgundy

Burgundy is undoubtedly the home of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnays in the world, where vineyards, or Domaines have been producing wines for over 2000 years. Burgundy is located in the North-east of France, an hours drive from Lyon and 2 hours from Paris. With over 100 appellations, or sub-regions (more than any other wine region) Burgundy is known for being the most terroir-oriented region in the World. The finest red wines of Burgundy are found in the Côte d'Or, a string of villages including Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey St Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-St Georges.

There are flavours present in great Burgundys that are the envy of Pinot Noir producers worldwide. The elusive peacocks tail finish that goes on and on, and the pretty-elegance backed by Burgundy muscle is the goal of winemakers around the globe. The main levels in the Burgundy classifications, in descending order of quality, are: Grand crus, Premier crus, village appellations, and finally regional appellations. For the Chablis wines, a similar hierarchy of Grand Cru, Premier Cru and Village wines is used, plus Petit Chablis as a level below Village Chablis.
