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 (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 (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. |
