Description
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. This wine is matured in large format (5000L) French oak to add oxygen but not oaky flavours. These vines are in a higher altitude location in the Hautes Côtes above Nuits St Georges. It is a naturally cooler site. Very bright, energetic red cherry fruit flavours, an exciting purity, good tannic grip with a lovely bite and lift on the finish. The higher slopes above the Cote de Nuits have excelled in 2022 to give white wines with delicious vibrancy and energy, as evidenced by this Chardonnay, which, not only has terrific depth, but is already so approachable.
