Vintner: Anne Gros
Domaine Anne Gros
In 1988, Anne inherited her father's estate, François Gros, and renamed it Anne Gros. The estate produces only one Premier Cru, but has three superb Grand Crus, including Richebourg, each of which covers barely more than one hectare of land, making it even more valuable because of the scarcity of its production.
Anne's solid background in oenology leads her to think scientifically about everything. "Nothing systematic-nothing fixed". The vintage and climatic conditions, together with the characteristics of each plot, determine the planting and vinification methods of the year. Her winemaking philosophy is based on harvesting grapes that are fully ripe and undamaged in order to produce high quality wines.
Apart from Leroy and Leflaive, Burgundy's most famous female winemakers, Anne Gros is one of the most recognizable. Wine guru Clive Coates describes Anne as having a quiet determination and perfectionism that is reflected in the quality of her wines. A passionate and gifted winemaker who has single-handedly created a winery renowned for its elegance and finesse. Anne maintains the Gros family tradition of not using low-temperature maceration, a temperature that is more conducive to extracting the rich, soft aromas. But unlike the rest of the family, she has also introduced a number of new practices, including not using a concentrator, favoring shorter fermentations, and retaining a few stems to add flavor. This reflects the excellent ripeness and light color of Anne's grapes, as well as the elegance and charm of the aromas.
The winery employs organic farming methods and strives to maintain the ecosystem of the vineyard with as little human intervention as possible. The grapes are hand-harvested and the first selection is made in the vineyard. After rapid fermentation, a high percentage of new oak barrels are used, about 80% for the Grand Cru, 50% for the Village and 30% for the Region. The micro-oxygenation effect of the barrels helps the wine to develop richer aromas and flavors.
The softness and elegance of a female winemaker's style, the solid acidity and tannin backbone hidden in the fascinating fruity flavors, are the true expression of Anne, now a mother of three, who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Winehog, one of Burgundy's leading wine media, describes Anne's wines as elegantly balanced and full of delightful flavors!Anne is one of the leading female winemakers in Burgundy. The most refined and highly rated winery in the Gros family. Respect for tradition and the pursuit of innovation, with a scientific approach to continuous improvement. The winemaking philosophy is based on the idea that fully ripe, undamaged grapes are the only way to produce high quality wines.
A top winery with a very small production, sought after by enthusiasts.
