Another glass you just want to drink even though this is still in tank when we taste with Anne! Nice dark fruit, soft and juicy. This is polished and has just enough pep and mineral undertow to give a slight lift. Pretty and not flashy - just Red Burgundy you want to drink. Drinking range: 2020 - 2024 L&S (Nov 2018)

A pretty and very fresh nose consists mostly of red cherry, raspberry and a hint of lavender. There is good vibrancy and a hint of minerality to the light weight flavors that conclude in a focused and clean if not particularly complex finish. Drinking range: 2019 - Rating: 85-87 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2019)
The 2017 Hautes Côtes de Nuits bursts from the glass with a perfumed bouquet of berries and flowers, followed by a light to medium-bodied palate with a generous core of satiny fruit and melting tannins. This is adapted for near-term consumption. Rating: 86-88 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Jan 2019)
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.
