About Anne-Françoise Gros
About Anne-Françoise Gros
The estate of Anne-Françoise Gros is a union of its own vineyard holdings with those from Domaine Parent. Anne-Françoise is the daughter of Jean Gros, and is married to Francois Parent, who hails from the Parent family of Pommard. Today, the estate is managed by their children, Caroline and Mathias.
Viniculture
Domaine Anne-Françoise Gros began in 1988 and has grown steadily since, acquiring parcels of vines in some of the best vineyards across the Cote d’Or. Focussing on an elegant approach to Burgundy, the wines are soft yet nobly structured; representing exceptional quality across the board with particular reference to the appellations of Pommard, Vosne-Romaee and Chambolle-Musigny.
Anne-Françoise Gros owns a mere 0.6 ha of vines in Richebourg, located adjacent to one of the Richebourg plots belonging to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in the north-east corner of the vineyard.

Vinous (87-89)The 2018 Beaune Boucherottes 1er Cru has a lovely blackcurrant and raspberry bouquet with just a touch of vanilla emanating from the oak. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, soft and rounded with juicy red cherries and strawberry fruit on the finish. Very approachable, although I am not convinced it is long-term. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2021 Beaune Les Boucherottes 1er Cru was completely de-stemmed as the vines naturally produce acidity. The malo had not finished on this cuvée but there appears to be fine concentration on the nose considering the vintage. The palate is sweet, slightly candied on the entry with blood orange and tangerine infusing the red fruit. Ripe and energetic on the simple yet effective finish. Fine. |

Vinous (88-90)The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Village, a blend of five plots, has a well-defined bouquet, red and black fruit intermixed with blood orange. The stems are neatly assimilate here. The palate is well balanced with crunchy spicy red fruit laced with pain d'epices, nicely focused on the slightly brittle finish. Fine. |

Wine Advocate (89-91)The 2015 Echézeaux Grand Cru was buttoned down when I tasted it, the 100% new oak keeping a lid on the red berry fruit behind this wall. The palate is grippy on the entry with chunky red berry fruit (cranberry, wild strawberry and pomegranate) mixed with white pepper and sage notes towards the stocky finish. Like other 2015s from the domaine, I would like more terroir expression, more personality to be expressed. |

Vinous (92-94)The 2017 Echézeaux Grand Cru comes from vines over 90 years old and is matured entirely in new oak. It has a very pure, seductive bouquet of black cherry and raspberry fruit infused with pressed iris and hints of India ink. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit and gentle grip, stiffening a little toward the finish, which just needs a little more flesh to come through. Afford this five years in bottle if possible, because it shows fine balance. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2018 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a broody bouquet with dark berry fruit laced with black tea and touches of leather. The palate is medium-bodied with firm, almost "chunky" tannins. This is not a graceful Echézeaux but there is plenty of substance with a judicious touch of spice on the finish. Fine, but give it time. |

Vinous (93-95)The 2021 Echézeaux Grand Cru is matured with 50% whole bunches in 50% new oak. It has quite a sensual bouquet with slightly melted red fruit, thyme and crushed stone, somehow, "laid back" aromatics without leaving you feeling shortchanged. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannins, nicely integrated oak with a vibrant, sorbet-fresh finish. Excellent. |

Vinous (91-93)The 2021 Pommard Les Arvelets 1er Cru was blended with 50% whole bunches that are neatly assimilated into the nose. Blackberry and vivid raspberry fruit unfold, slightly confit in style. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet candied entry, red berry fruit, white pepper and clove, a little gourmand in character towards the end. This is quite a complex Pommard and it should age gracefully in bottle. |

Vinous (89-91)The 2018 Pommard Les Chanlins 1er Cru offers brambly black fruit on the nose, a little more tertiary in style compared to Gros’s other cuvées. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins on the entry. Good grip here, quite sappy in style even if it just misses some finesse and detail on the finish. Not bad, but I would give this 3-4 years in bottle. |

Vinous (92)The 2017 Pommard Les Pézérolles 1er Cru has a refined, intense bouquet of brambly red berry fruit, sous-bois and light rose petal scents that emerge with time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, quite tangy and peppery, delivering gentle grip and a more chalky-textured finish. Quintessentially Pommard, this should give 12–18 years of drinking pleasure. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting. |

Vinous (90-92)The 2021 Pommard Les Pezerolles 1er Cru contains 50% whole bunches this year. Dark berry fruit, briary and light sous-bois scents unfold on the nose - quintessentially Pommard. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy dark berry fruit, orange rind, bitter cherry and a touch of pain d'épices towards the finish. Lots of energy here - this Pommard looks destined to give 10-15 years of drinking pleasure. Very fine. |

Wine Advocate (97)Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Richebourg Grand Cru from A.F. Gros has a very fine bouquet, very expressive with vibrant, shimmering red berry fruit, cherry liqueur, boysenberries and marmalade. This is both complex and involving. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, beautifully poised and supple, elegant and utterly harmonious on the finish. The terroir and winemaking here exude Grand Cru quality. It's probably the best wine I have ever tasted from the estate and in a different league to some older vintages that I tasted from the domaine just a few days later. |
