Lovely! Floral rose-scented nose, raspberry, quite wild and expressive, good soft texture, quite a lot of depth, really very pretty. L&S (Dec 2009)

Medium red. Tangy aromas of raspberry, red cherry, minerals and pepper. Supple but juicy and precise, with lovely mid-palate sweetness. A ripe, suave fruit bomb that finishes with dusty tannins and very good length. Rating: 87-90 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2010)
This is restrained on the nose but intensely floral, scented and mineral on the palate – airy and head-filling. Very fine and silky on entry, but really builds to the finish – like an arrow point – finishing with graphite and flowers. There’s a beautifully fresh acidity really woven into the ultra fine but resistant tannin here. Really very good. From 2013/14. Rating: 16 Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing (Jan 2010)
Domaine Anne Gros
Anne Gros joined her father François at the family domaine in Vosne Romanée in 1988, having given up her arts studies in favour of viticulture and oenology at Beaune and Dijon, and has run the domaine alone since 1995. The Domaine now has 6.5 hectares of Pinot and Chardonnay. Anne describes herself as being 'wary of certainties and keen to preserve her freedom'.
In the vineyards Anne practises viticulture influenced by organic and biodynamic principles, and the vineyards are ploughed and fertilised with compost, but although she believes that the long-term health of the vineyards are best preserved by such methods, she likes to maintain the freedom to use conventional treatments when necessary.
In the cellar, the wines are classically made, in cement tanks for the reds, and stainless steel for the whites. They are then are aged in barrel for up to fifteen months, with 80% new wood for the grand crus, 50% for the village wines and 30% for the regional wines. Anne is quietly meticulous and almost obsessive about cleanliness in her cellar, which perhaps is reflected in the delicacy and restrained tension in her wines, which have aromatic clarity, limpid precision, sheer joie de vivre, lively balance and persistence.
