(The following is from the importer's materials)
The 2017 Burgundy vintage was so good that any producer would say it was an excellent one, and the harvest, which had been declining since 2011, returned to average levels.
Although the spring was characterized by extreme temperature fluctuations, the grapes matured earlier than usual.
When flowering began in June, the weather conditions were perfect and the grapes began to bear fruit smoothly.
The grapes harvested had concentrated fruit flavors and were perfect in terms of sugar content, acidity, and tannins.
This is a notable vintage that is both fresh and ripe.

The taste is ruby ​​red in colour with hints of purple on the edges.
The glass releases rich fruit aromas such as red currants and wild strawberries, with a hint of cocoa from the high-quality barrels.
As time passes, the gorgeous aroma of ripe cassis, rose, and hibiscus rises, and the way it transforms into a rich, luxurious atmosphere is truly breathtaking.
In the mouth, you can feel the concentrated fruitiness, and the smooth tannins create a rich, full-bodied taste.
The delicate yet firm acidity that brings the whole thing together is also appealing.
The soft finish, with hints of clove and cinnamon, lingers for a long time. This is undoubtedly a great cuvée with ample aging potential.
You will be delighted with the harmony of fruitiness that maximizes the grapes' potential.

Anne Gros

Always pursuing possibilities without being bound by fixed ideas or preconceptions

Domaine Anne Gros stands out among Burgundy's prestigious Gros family. Anne is a cousin of Domaine Michel Gros and Domaine Gros Freres et Soules, and unlike Michel and Bernard, whose father was Jean Gros, Anne grew up as the only daughter of Jean's brother Francois. Until 1984, he studied literature, but then studied cultivation and winemaking in Beaune and Dijon. In 1988, at the young age of 22, he took over the domaine from his father and established Domaine Anne et Francois Gros. Established. Before she took over, three-quarters of the wine was sold as bulk wine to local négociants, but starting with the 1990 vintage, the winery became fully bottled. The following year, the field was expanded from 3ha to 6.5ha, and in 1995 it was renamed to its current name, Domaine Anne Gros. In 2007, he took back the 0.76 ha of L'Hoachauce in Echezeaux, which his father had lent to Bernard for 25 years. Unfettered by fixed ideas or preconceived notions, Anne always pursues possibilities.She has a strong curiosity and has put everything into practice on her own, choosing the best method. For example, by introducing pheromones in the fields as early as possible, we are eliminating the use of herbicides and insecticides, and are cultivating organic matter in the soil and using natural compost. The timing of the harvest is also very flexible, sometimes starting at the end of August, and sometimes waiting patiently for the grapes to ripen and finally starting at the end of September. For winemaking, the grapes are 100% destemmed and fermented for 12 to 15 days in concrete tanks for reds and stainless steel tanks for whites. He is very particular about the selection of barrels, purchasing different barrels and experimenting with various combinations such as oak type and charring. As a result, he now prefers oak from Allier, and buys most of his barrels from Dammy and Berthemieux, and some from François Frères.
