About

A.-F. Gros Richebourg Grand Cru is a dry red wine, made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes, sourced from the prestigious Richebourg Grand Cru vineyard in the Burgundy region of France. This wine exemplifies the elegance and complexity of one of Burgundy's most renowned terroirs, reflecting the meticulous winemaking practices of Domaine A.-F. Gros. The Richebourg Grand Cru is known for producing wines of extraordinary depth, structure, and aging potential.

Producer

Anne-Françoise Gros, originally from Vaughn-Romanet, married François Parent of Pommard, where they live today, but their wines have been produced in a winery in Beaune since 1998. Parents-winemakers are actively supported by their children Caroline and Mathieu. The winery is formed by Anna's share in Domaine Jean Gros - vineyards that she bought or leased in the region of Vaughn-Romanet, and her husband's share in Domaine Parent. François Parent also offers wines under his own brand, which is adorned with black truffle. Anna's wines can be recognized by the silhouette of a woman's head, which is made in a unique style for each appellation. Since 2008, a sorting table has been installed in the winery, where the stalks are removed, but the grapes are not choked. The grapes go through a short cold maceration, and then the fermentation process. The grape juice is concentrated in a device that Michelle and Bernard Gros also use.

Tasting notes

Tasting notes for A.-F. Gros Richebourg Grand Cru reveal a profound bouquet of black cherries, raspberries, and plum, intertwined with floral notes of violet, and hints of truffle, and exotic spices. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied texture with fine, velvety tannins and vibrant acidity, featuring flavors of dark berries, licorice, and a touch of earthy minerality, leading to a long, sophisticated finish. This Pinot Noir is celebrated for its richness, complexity, and the harmonious integration of its intense fruit and nuanced oak.

Pairing

A.-F. Gros Richebourg Grand Cru pairs beautifully with luxurious dishes such as roast duck, beef tenderloin, or venison, where its robust structure and intricate flavors complement the savory richness of the meat. It also enhances the flavors of aged cheeses and dishes with truffle or mushroom sauces, providing a decadent and memorable dining experience.

Pinot Noir

All products from this varietal

Pinot Noir has very aromatic profile, very fresh acidity and low level of quaite soft tannins. The nature of Pinot Noir wine is its flavors of red berries and cherry (red sour cherries in lighter wines and cooked black cherries in bold examples). This wine matures very exating, developing notes of berry jam, violets, leather, moss and mushrooms.

Vosne Romannee

All products from this village

Vosne-Romanée is the most legendary appellation of Côte de Nuits. It is the home of the most famous winery in the world - Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. This small vineyard of less than two hectares produces the most expensive wine in the world. The appellation is known for its strong, spicy and smoky wines filled with the deep aroma of ripe dark plums and raisins and wrapped in an aura of grandeur.

Burgundy

All products from this region

Burgundy (Bourgogne) can be confusing because of the multiplicity of its appellations - all the small vineyards are divided between multiple producers so it can often be difficult to understand this diversity. However, it is the exact reason why the wines of Burgundy are considered to be the finest in the world. A common topic of discussion, when talking about Burgundy, is the concept of "terroir" - a unique combination of soil and climate conditions that affects the taste of wine in the appellations, making it unique to each village. Winemakers mainly use the capricious Pinot Noir and the classical Chardonnay to create true masterpieces, while Gamay and Aligote are used to make wines of a bit simpler style. Particular attention should be paid to the hierarchy of wines. First there are the regional and village wines, a step higher - the Premier Cru wines and the outstanding Grand Cru - at the top. Due the complex and inconsistent weather that can notably impact wine quality especially in bad harvest years, a very important factor here is the so called millesime - the harvest year of the grapes the particular wine is produced of, because each of these years has its own unique taste. Purchasing Burgundy wines is not easy because there are many details that should be taken into consideration - the class of the vineyard, the assessment of the manufacturer, the age of the vines, the quality of the wine as well as the millesime and, of course, the potential of ageing. The sellers play a big role here - they must be truly passionate about wine and able to offer only the best quality producers with a good reputation. That is exactly the way "Noble Wine" works!
