95 / 100"This comes from the 0.28ha parcel in Les Champs Traversins, where the vines are one century old. The fruit is fermented with 40% whole clusters, and is aged in cask (60% new). This has a lush, ripe blackcurrant and plum fruit, with accents of spice, leather and earth. The texture is dense and velvety, with plenty of density and no want of power. Elegant but still powerful.

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.
A powerful yet elegant bouquet. Predominantly cherry, blackcurrant and raspberry, with some strawberry aromas coming through with age. Finely structured yet supple with fine tannins. Clean and fresh on the finish.
