Description

Echezeaux Grand Cru Domaine A F Gros, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France 2015 

Grape: 100% Pinot Noir, hand picked, 12 months' ageing in French oak barrels (100% new), bottled unfined & unfiltered

One of the finest labels in Burgundy, the wines of Domaine A.-F. Gros are produced in very limited quantities and are of a very high standard.

Critic's Tasting Note:

From a 0.26 ha parcel of vines planted in 1931 in the Echezeaux climat Les Champs Traversins, which is occasionally referred to as Le Petit Cîteaux

"A beautifully well-layered nose offers up an abundance of spice and floral elements that add plenty of breadth to the mostly red berry liqueur scents. The seductively textured big-bodied flavors coat the palate with sappy dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the firm tannic spine shaping the lush, opulent and wonderfully persistent finish. This beauty should drink reasonably well young but have no problem rewarding extended cellaring" Drink 2027+

(91-94/100) points, Allen Meadows, Burghound, April 2017

"Cask sample. 100% new oak. Mid cherry. Super-subtle on the nose. Really shy in its dark-fruited nature. Lovely sweetness on the palate, oak sweetness, I would say, but the dark fruit meshes well with the oak. Elegant, dry, long." (JH) Drink 2025-2040

17.5/20 points, Julia Harding MW,  JancisRobinson.com, January 2017

Anne-Françoise is Jean GROS of Vosne-Romanée‘s daughter. The Domaine AF GROS has been created in 1988 when Jean and Jeanine GROS started to transmit the family Domaine (first knew as Domaine GROS-RENAUDOT and then as Domaine Louis GROS). At the same time, Anne-Françoise acquired a Domain in Flagey Echezeaux with her husband Jean GROS and in 1995 they purchased a vineyard in Savigny les Beaune. In 1996 Jean and Jeanine GROS retired and so they divided the Jean GROS Domain between their three children Michel, Bernard and Anne-Françoise. Each Domaine is autonomous and independent (Domaine Michel GROS in Vosne Romanée, Domaine GROS Frère & Soeur directed by Bernard in Vosne Romanée, and Domaine Anne-Françoise GROS in Pommard). So there are four famous Domaines GROS.
