2022 Anne Gros Bourgogne Rouge, Burgundy, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

Our Red Burgundy is a blend of 3 parcels (0.87 ha total) : Les Champs d’argent, Les Glapigny and Les Pasquiers with an average age of 40 years old. These parcels are all situated on the flat side, separated from the hillside by the RN 74, between  Nuits St. Georges and Flagey-Echezeaux. The earth is “heavy”, richer and more humid, stones are rather rare… The clay will give power to the wines and allow the vines to suffer less from the drought. Hand harvested and de-stemmed with fermentation in stainless steel. Aging in barrels (30% new oak).

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Anne Gros, the only daughter of François Gros, has established a solid character and reputation in the wine world after taking over her father’s domaine in 1988. At 25 years old, Anne grew the family domaine from 3 to 6.5 ha. Recently, she invested in a new cellar. She is a winegrower suspicious of certitude and fastidious about maintaining her freedom.

As a woman winegrower, Anne knew how to prove herself and convince all who doubted of her ability to manage a domaine. She showed that she had not only the shoulders but the head to make her family heritage one of the greatest domaines of Burgundy. In 1984 she had to stop studying Arts to study vines’culture and oenology in Beaune and Dijon. Now her passion for vine and wine as well as her talent, sensitivity and professionalism posit her as a winemaker amateurs can rely on.
