About Domaine Anne Gros 2018 Hautes Cotes de Nuits Blanc, Cuvee Marine
Anne Gros, the only daughter of François Gros, has established a solid character and reputation in the wine world after taking over her father’s domaine in 1988. At 25 years old, Anne saw the family domaine grow from 7 to 16 acres. Recently, she invested in a new cellar. She is a winegrower suspicious of certitude and fastidious about maintaining her freedom.
As a woman winegrower, Anne knew how to prove herself and convince all who doubted of her ability to manage a domaine. She showed that she had not only the shoulders but the head to make her family heritage one of the greatest domaines of Burgundy. In 1984 she had to stop studying Arts to study vines’culture and oenology in Beaune and Dijon. Now her passion for vine and wine as well as her talent, sensitivity and professionalism posit her as a winemaker enthusiasts can rely on.
The first harvest of this wine was 1999, Now the vines are mature and bringing very expressive fruit. This 4 acre single block parcel is situated in the commune of Concoeur just above the village of Vosne-Romanée. Originally bare of any vines, it was planted in stages (1996, 1997 and 1998). Chardonnay vines make up 2.4 acres on the upper part of the slope, where the earth is deeper and more humid (this is where the water of the hillside resurges).
The mineral structure is moderated by ageing the wine on the lees. Barrel ageing lasts approximately 12 months in 500 litres barrels (25% new oak).
It's a fresh wine with citrus notes of lemon and exotic nuances of banana, pineapple and passion fruit. A hint of iodine and a slight saline quality complete this wine, which would complement raw or grilled fish, shellfish in a court-bouillon, white meat, charcuterie without garlic and goat cheese.
