Vosne-Romanée Les Barreaux Anne Gros (no reserve) 2006

The wine

Vosne Romanée Les Barreaux is produced on a parcel that is now more than 100 years old, acquired by the domaine in 1988. Lying at an altitude of 280 metres and facing north-east, the plot consists of dense, chalky soil, hence its name meaning “rocky ridge”. The wine has a strong personality and excellent aging potential. It expresses aromas of wild blackberry, blueberries and spice and is powerful while also remaining elegant.

About the Producer Anne Gros

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).
