Intensity
Signature from Domaine A.F. Gros is a Vin de France cuvée created with care, uniting woody notes with aromas of red fruits and spices and fresh acidity.
More infoSignature from Domaine A.F. Gros is labelled as a Vin de France. This wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes grown on the prestigious terroirs of the Côte d’Or. The harvests are conducted by hand, which guarantees that only the ripest grapes are selected. Vinification is carefully carried out, combining both traditional and modern techniques to reveal the authentic characteristics of the terroir. After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels, which gives it subtle woody notes and aromas of vanilla.
The bright purple colour is eye-catching, and the wine has aromas of red fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries and cherries combined with hints of flowers and spices, such as cinnamon and pepper. The slight initial concentration gives way to a depth and complexity of flavour, with well-controlled tannins and fresh acidity.

About the Producer A.F. Gros
Côtes de Nuits wine lovers are well aware that the name Gros encapsulates a mosaic of estates intertwined in many ways. The original estate (Domaine Louis Gros) was split into three between his children, leading to the creation of the Gros Frère et Soeur, François Gros and Jean Gros estates in the early 1970s. At the latter, Anne-Françoise Gros tended her own plots under the Domaine A-F. Gros name, in partnership with her husband François Parent, combining his vines with hers. Today, the estate stretches over 10 hectares, primarily across the renowned climats of Pommard and Vosne-Romanée: Richebourg, Echezeaux, Chambolle-Musigny, Pommard… Anne-Françoise and François have now handed over the reins of the estate to the next generation, now run by Caroline and Mathias Parent, two of their three children. Caroline is in charge of distribution. As for Mathias, he is responsible for production. He first learned from his father, vinifying the 2011 and 2012 vintages alongside him before going it alone. After the purchase of 3.6 hectares in the Moulin-à-Vent AOC in 2017, Mathias has been exploring new terroirs and, more importantly, experimenting with new, more personal winemaking methods. Ever since, the estate has been ageing wines in casks of varying ages, with the grapes not always being destalked, especially for their finest cuvées (up to 50% whole bunches).
