The 2020 Clos de Vougeot le Grand Maupertui Grand Cru has an intense, quite penetrating bouquet with copious black cherry and cassis scents interwoven with rose petal and violet aromas.

Reviews:

• Burghound: Here too the ripe nose is attractively spicy though with more earth influence on the nicely fresh aromas of various dark berries, plum and cassis. The relatively supple middle weight flavors possess good vibrancy though the dusty finish is borderline drying. Like the Barreaux, this may well be due to the abundant gas though here it’s less obvious that is the potential problem.

• Vinous: The 2020 Clos de Vougeot le Grand Maupertui Grand Cru has an intense, quite penetrating bouquet with copious black cherry and cassis scents interwoven with rose petal and violet aromas. The palate is quite dense and multi-layered with dark berry fruit laced with white pepper and bay leaf that builds towards quite a backward finish that will requite 8-10 years to reach its drinking window. A lot of wine in this Clos Vougeot.

Producer Information

Domaine Anne Gros is a wine producer based in the village of Vosne-Romanée, in the Côte de Nuits subregion of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or. The estate produces a range of wines from local and neighboring appellations across both the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grape varieties. The domaine has a total of 6.5 hectares (16 acres) across nine appellations, including parcels in the Grand Cru vineyards of Clos Vougeot, Echezeaux and Richebourg. Anne Gros also makes village-level Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny wines, as well as generic Bourgogne rouge and Bourgogne blanc wines. The vines are farmed according to biodynamic principles. Red grapes are vinified in epoxy-lined cement tanks, with whites in stainless steel.Anne Gros is part of an extensive winemaking family in the area and joined her father François at the family estate in 1988. The domaine was named Domaine Anne et François Gros until 1995 and is now simply Domaine Anne Gros. The winery holdings also include two homestays in both Vosne-Romanée (La Colombière) and nearby Beaune (Le Patio). In 2008, with her winegrower partner, Anne also established Domaine Anne Gros & Jean-Paul Tollot at Cazelles in Minervois. Domaine Gros Frère et Soeur, Domaine Michel Gros, and Domaine A.-F. Gros are all run by Gros’ cousins – the latter, run by Anne-Françoise Gros, is easily confused with Domaine Anne Gros.
