Domaine Anne Gros, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru AOC, Le Grand Maupertui

About Domaine Anne Gros

Domaine Anne Gros is a highly respected wine estate located in Vosne-Romanée, within the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. The domaine traces its roots to the 19th century, but it took on its current form in 1988 when Anne Gros took over from her father, François Gros. With a deep commitment to her family’s heritage and a clear vision for the future, Anne has elevated the domaine’s reputation through meticulous vineyard management and a focus on expressing the subtle nuances of each terroir.

The estate covers approximately 6.5 hectares, with vineyards situated in some of Burgundy’s most prestigious appellations. Notably, Domaine Anne Gros possesses parcels in the revered grand crus of Richebourg and Clos Vougeot, as well as the premier cru Les Loächausses in Vosne-Romanée. The domaine also produces wines from Chambolle-Musigny and a small amount of Bourgogne Rouge and Hautes-Côtes de Nuits. The vines, some of which are over 50 years old, are cultivated with great care, combining traditional practices with a sustainable, environmentally conscious approach. Anne’s philosophy centers on preserving the health of the soils and vines, minimizing chemical interventions, and harvesting by hand to ensure only the finest fruit reaches the cellar.

In the winery, Anne Gros employs a gentle, precise winemaking style that aims to highlight the individuality of each vineyard. She favors minimal intervention, using gravity to move the wines and limiting the use of new oak to avoid overpowering the delicate aromatics and textures of Pinot Noir. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, and the wines undergo careful élevage in French oak barrels before bottling. The resulting wines are celebrated for their purity, elegance, and depth, consistently displaying a refined structure, vibrant fruit, and a remarkable ability to age gracefully.

Beyond her technical expertise, Anne Gros is known for her thoughtful, intuitive approach to both viticulture and winemaking. She has played a pivotal role in the resurgence of her family’s domaine, earning acclaim for her ability to balance tradition with innovation. Under her leadership, Domaine Anne Gros has become synonymous with finely crafted Burgundy that captures the essence of its terroir. The domaine’s wines are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide, prized for their finesse, complexity, and expressive character.

In recent years, Anne has been joined by her daughter Julie and son Paul, ensuring that the domaine remains a true family enterprise. Together, they continue to uphold the values of quality, authenticity, and respect for the land that have defined Domaine Anne Gros for generations. With a portfolio that spans from grand cru to regional appellations, the domaine offers a compelling exploration of Burgundy’s diversity, anchored by a steadfast dedication to excellence at every level.
