As usual it has just enough weight, but it is the scented, stony and floral precision with citrus lift and appeal which dominates the palate. Fine balance of sweetness and acidity with just enough tannin to make the mouth water and keep it straight and long. L&S (Dec 2010)

Moderately saturated medium red. Lovely aromas of musky raspberry, cherry, licorice and flowers, with complicating soil tones; compellingly high-pitched for 2009. Then silky, sweet and creamy in the mouth, with excellent breadth to its red fruit and floral flavors. A very open-knit style but quite fresh. The long finish features a whiplash of cherry and minerals. Superb village wine. Rating: 90 Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Mar 2012)

This is a fine, quite floral bouquet with touches of rose petal and violets accompanying the dark cherry fruit. Good definition – develops a gourmand element with time. The palate has a taut entry, a little brusque even, very linear with chalky tannins towards the more masculine, structured finish. Rating: 90 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2011)

A pretty and fresh nose of both red and blue pinot fruit, spice hints and a touch of wood toast leads to delicious and quite supple and forward flavors that evidence an attractive mineral streak on the delicious if not overly complex finish. This is appealing in its fashion. 2013+ Rating: 86-89 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.
