Domaine A.F. Gros : Clos Vougeot Grand cru Domaine 2023

The beauty of the great terroirs of Burgundy

The property

Founded by Anne-Françoise Gros in 1988, the Domaine A.F. Gros extends over the greatest terroirs of Pommard and Vosne-Romanée. Anne-Françoise Gros and François Parent, her husband, indeed combined their domains to exploit 10 hectares in the heart of the cradle of the greatest reds of the Côte de Beaune, the Côte de Nuits but also of Beaujolais. Today, their children Mathias and Caroline have joined the adventure alongside their parents, perpetuating with dedication their precious heritage.

Recognized worldwide for the high quality of its wines, the Gros-Parent family brings to life superb cuvées in very limited quantities.

The vineyard

At the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the Clos Vougeot is a prestigious Grand Cru of Burgundy surrounded by walls since the 12th century. Once owned by the monks of Cîteaux, this historic vineyard extends over more than 50 hectares of exceptional terroir. It brings together a mosaic of plots with varied soils, reflecting all the complexity of Pinot Noir.

The Domaine A.F Gros practices exclusively manual harvesting.

The vintage

The 2023 vintage in Burgundy is distinguished by a generous harvest and optimal maturity of the grapes, despite sometimes unstable weather. After a spring punctuated by a few episodes of frost, the summer, both hot and dry, was tempered by timely rainfall, thus offering ideal conditions for a homogeneous maturation of the harvest. The result gives birth to an exceptional vintage, carried by a remarkable harmony between the fruit, the freshness and the structure. A promising balance that augurs a good aging potential
