Richebourg Grand Cru Anne Gros 2008

The wine

The Richebourg vineyard (8 hectares), represents one of the best crus in Vosne-Romanée and is made up of calcareous clayey soil. These are both powerful and charming wines: robust, well-structured and harmonious. They develop intense aromas, typical of fine Burgundies: ripe or candied red and dark fruits, musk, leather and humus. Long-lasting fabulously rich aromas make this cru one of the world's greatest wines. After ageing for several years, this wine reaches its full potential.

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).
