Domaine Anne Gros winery
Anne Gros is a family-owned wine estate located in the heart of Burgundy, specifically in the village of Vosne-Romanée. The estate traces its roots back to the early 20th century, with the legacy of the Gros family extending even further. Anne took over the domaine in 1988, bringing a fresh perspective while respecting the traditions established by her predecessors. The estate covers approximately 6.5 hectares, with vineyards situated in prestigious appellations such as Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny, and Clos Vougeot. The focus is on producing high-quality Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines that express the unique terroir of each plot.
Anne Gros places great emphasis on meticulous vineyard management. The vines are cultivated with respect for the environment, using sustainable and reasoned viticulture practices. The team works by hand as much as possible, carefully managing yields to ensure concentration and purity in the grapes. Harvesting is done manually, with a rigorous selection of bunches to guarantee only the best fruit is used for winemaking.
In the winery, Anne combines traditional Burgundian methods with a modern sensibility. Grapes are sorted again upon arrival and vinified using gentle extraction techniques to preserve the elegance and finesse characteristic of the region. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks, and the wines are aged in French oak barrels, with a thoughtful balance between new and used wood to enhance complexity without overpowering the fruit. The result is wines that are harmonious, refined, and capable of aging gracefully.
The estate produces several cuvées, each reflecting the specificity of its origin. Notable wines include Clos Vougeot Grand Cru, Echezeaux Grand Cru, Chambolle-Musigny La Combe d’Orveau, and Vosne-Romanée Les Barreaux. In addition to these flagship wines, the domaine offers Bourgogne and Hautes-Côtes de Nuits appellations, providing approachable yet expressive options for Burgundy enthusiasts. Anne Gros also collaborates with her husband Jean-Paul Tollot in the Minervois region of Languedoc, where they craft wines from southern French varietals under the Domaine Anne Gros & Jean-Paul Tollot label.
The estate’s philosophy centers on respect for the land and a pursuit of excellence in every bottle. Anne believes that great wine begins in the vineyard, and her dedication is evident in the care taken at every stage of production. The wines are known for their purity, balance, and ability to capture the nuances of each terroir. Anne and her team welcome visitors by appointment, offering tastings and insights into the winemaking process. The domaine also provides a guesthouse, giving wine lovers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the Burgundian lifestyle.
Anne Gros’s commitment to quality, respect for tradition, and openness to innovation have established the estate as a benchmark for Burgundy. The wines are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide, recognized for their elegance, depth, and sense of place. The domaine remains a family affair, with Anne's daughter Julie now contributing to the legacy, ensuring that the passion and expertise of the Gros family will continue for generations to come.
