Bourgogne A.-F. Gros 2018

The wine

The A-F Gros domain was created when Jean Gros passed on his vineyards, sharing them among his three children. Jean had himself inherited parcels in Vosne-Romanée and Richebourg; he then expanded his operation by acquiring parcels in other legendary Burgundy appellations. Today, his daughter Anne-Françoise Gros continues the family tradition at the A-F Gros domain. This cuvée is produced from parcels located below Pommard, whose vines were planted in 1965. It enjoys a brief sojourn in new barrels, and is characterised upon tasting by its crisp fruitiness, freshness and roundedness. Leave for between two and six years before drinking.

About the Producer A.F. Gros

Côtes de Nuits connoisseurs will tell you that behind the name Gros is a mosaic of intertwined domains. The original domain (domain Louis Gros), was divided between his three children, which started the Gros Frère et Soeur, François Gros and Jean Gros domains at the beginning of the 1970s. Within the Jean Gros domain, Anne-Françoise Gros manages her own parcels under the Domaine A-F Gros.
