In this domain's usual pale register this is quite a deep colour. There's a spicy richness which really coats the palate very evenly and smoothly. Great flavour depth, long, tense, all evenly help in suspense. Lovely. L&S (Dec 2010)

Fresh red fruits tend to dominate both nose and palate. The dominance of raspberry gives a light start but behind is mulberry, bramble and cherry. The back palate has the sweetness of ripe fruit enriching the finish. 2013-19 Rating: 91 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (Dec 2013)

This has a very pure, quite creamy bouquet with red cherries and strawberry fruit. Very refined. The palate is very delicate on the entry but expands beautifully across the mouth. The Barreaux displays exquisite tannins that are very precise and pure, the lead to a “sparkling” red cherry finish. Beautiful. Rating: 92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2011)

Moderate but not really invasive oak influence frames attractively spicy and notably earthy blue and black berry fruit aromas that also display a hint of cassis blossom that introduces supple, round and mouth coating middle weight flavors that possess better detail as well as better finishing depth on the naturally sweet finale. 2014+ Rating: 87-90 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2011)

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.
