Domaine Anne Gros

Vosne-Romanée | Côte de Nuits | Burgundy
Anne Gros North Berkeley ImportsSubtle, harmonious, supple—Burgundy from Domaine Anne Gros is intimately tied with the elegant and poised character of wines from Vosne-Romanée.

While each cru faithfully reflects its terroir, it is terroir as translated through Gros’ expert touch, offering richer aromatics, rounder curves, silkier tannins. The combination is irresistible, so much so that Gros’ very limited production is snapped up by global collectors faster and faster each vintage.

Anne Gros simply is one of the top winemakers in Burgundy today, which explains why her wines have inspired such a cult-like following. Importantly for us, Gros personifies the sort of winemaker with whom we have always sought to work: an artisan with a clear vision of her terroir and talents, and the grace to be humble despite the weight of Burgundian tradition and family history.

Anne Gros took over her father’s winery (Domaine François Gros) in the late 1980s. Yet there have been Gros family members in Vosne since the 1830s; land holdings have split among family members for generations. Today, there are four separate wineries in Vosne owned by the extended Gros family, including Domaine Anne Gros: Gros Frere et Soeur, Anne-Francoise Gros and Michel Gros, all of whom are Anne’s cousins.

FARMING & WINEMAKING

Anne Gros cares for her vineyards sustainably, adhering to organic practices as much as possible depending on the conditions of the growing year.

Grapes are always harvested by hand. Juice is fermented on indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks for both white and red wines.

In recent years, Anne Gros has been cutting back on her use of new oak barrels. As of the 2017 vintage, the estate uses one-third new barrels, one-third one-year barrels, and one-third two-year barrels, for all red Burgundy. 

WHITE WINES
Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay

A special selection of fruit from both older and younger Chardonnay vines planted not far from Anne’s Bourgogne Rouge vineyards, just outside of Vosne. Fresh, medium-bodied, wonderfully lacy and redolent of citrus blossom and fresh pineapple.
