92 / 100"Caroline Parent and her brother Mathias have coaxed a lovely village-level Chambolle from their array of holdings here. The wine has a ripe, substantial plum and blackberry fruit aroma scented with spice and smoke, and a silky texture highlighted by supple tannins that carry it to a rewarding finish, particularly at the village level. The grapes are from five parcels around the village, fermented as nearly 50% whole clusters, and the wine is now ageing in cask (30% new). This wine should drink relatively young but is also perfect for mid-term ageing. Drinking Window 2023 - 2040"

Tasting Notes
The name Gros is one of the most famous in the Côte de Nuits, synonymous with great Vosne Romaneé. The original Gros domaine is now divided amongst four family members. Anne-Françoise, daughter of Jean Gros, married into another great Burgundy dynasty, the Parent family of Pommard. In 1998 François Parent and Anne Françoise combined their domaines to create a superb 10 hectare property comprising some of the finest terroirs in the Côte d’Or. Today their children Caroline and Mathias run the estate, with Mathias ever experimenting and pushing boundaries in both vineyard and cellar.
The domaine has five parcels across the village and blends them to make a beautiful Chambolle Musigny. A gentle and charming style, with a silky, viscous texture. Flavours of wild strawberry and cinnamon, fine and seductive on the palate.
Aromatic, seductive nose of red and black cherry, blackberry, and undertones of cassis and blackcurrant. Super silky and voluptuous on the mid-palate with ripe, rounde
