Bourgogne Le Clos de l'Eglise Anne Gros 2017

The wine

A 100% Chardonnay with a nicely golden colour and a concentrated nose of flowers and white fruits. If the attack is lively, notes of honey are soft on the palate, delicately balanced by a mineral and acidic finish. Produce from the same terroir would make for wonderful accompaniments with this wine.

When she took over from her father in 1988, as she was only 18, Anne Gros was a young energetic woman, more interested in books than in becoming a winemaker! Nevertheless, she took on alone the work in the vines and was responsible for vinification and managing the business. In 1990 she bottled all of the harvest and connoisseurs around the world discovered the strength, finesse, delicateness and precision of her wines. The domain was officially established in 1995. Within ten years, she made it into one of the best and most renowned domains from the Côte de Nuits. Besides Clos Vougeot, Vosne Romanée and Chambolle Musigny, other appellations from new plots were added to the range (Hautes Côtes de Nuits et Bourgogne for example).
