92 / 100"(2020 vintage) This Arvelets shows a smoky, savoury red and black fruit character, with notes of menthol and spice. The wine has tannins that are firm but not astringent and a pleasant freshness that leads to a lingering finish. There are 0.34ha of vines in Arvelets, and this is fermented in stainless steel and old open-top wooden fermenters which have been adapted to the size of the parcel, with one-third whole-cluster. Ferments are slow and the wine is aged in one-third new casks. 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.
