Juat as saline as the Bourgognes, this has less obvious fruit and more a sense of rocky mineral. Very pure, a fine mineral juice. The fruit then fills out, and it's a dark fruit flavour - loganberry? - which is lifted by the general briskness. Drinking range: 2018 - 2028 L&S (Nov 2015)

Dark and nervy on the nose. Very sweet and fine. Lots of pleasure here – though notably soft tannins. To be drunk early? Very round and a bit soft. Drinking range: 2017 - 2023 Rating: 16 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2016)

Here too there is noticeable wood toast on the relatively deeply pitched nose that consists mostly of dark currant aromas that display hints of rose petal and spice. The round, textured, supple and velvety flavors possess ample minerality before terminating in a vibrant finish that tightens up while displaying enough dryness to somewhat impair the overall sense of balance.

The 2014 Chambolle Musigny la Combe d'Orveau is back, back, back after being hailed off last year. It has a tightly wound bouquet with blackberry, wet limestone and briary scents, more Morey in style than Chambolle perhaps. The palate is crisp and taut on the entry, quite terse and backward; this is a broody Chambolle with a brisk, very linear finish. It should gain more flesh by the time of bottling, but it might still be convalescing from the trauma of 2013. Drinking range: 2016 - 2023 Rating: 87-89 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Dec 2015)

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.
