A whiff of petrol character can be found on the citrus-suffused aromas of white orchard fruit and floral-scented nose. There is just a bit more volume to the round and nicely rich middleweight flavors that conclude in an equally dry and slightly more complex finale. This highly refreshing effort is worth a look Drinking range: 2024 - Rating: 86-89 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2023)
The 2021 Bourgogne Blanc has quite a perfumed bouquet that is more floral than the Cuvée Marine, hints of tropical fruit. The palate is well balanced, a little sharper than the Cuvée Marine with a dainty malic finish. Drink over the next 3-4 years. Drinking range: 2023 - 2028 Rating: 85-87 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2023)
One third 50 year old vines, the rest from 2016. A light lemon colour, with a little more body than the Hautes Côtes. Racy on the palate, a slightly firmer finish. One of the more interesting Côte de Nuits Bourgogne Chardonnay wines. Good length again. Drinking range: 2024 - 2026 Rating: **** 87-88 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Nov 2022)
Domaine Anne Gros
Anne Gros joined her father François at the family domaine in Vosne Romanée in 1988, having given up her arts studies in favour of viticulture and oenology at Beaune and Dijon, and has run the domaine alone since 1995. The Domaine now has 6.5 hectares of Pinot and Chardonnay. Anne describes herself as being 'wary of certainties and keen to preserve her freedom'.
In the vineyards Anne practises viticulture influenced by organic and biodynamic principles, and the vineyards are ploughed and fertilised with compost, but although she believes that the long-term health of the vineyards are best preserved by such methods, she likes to maintain the freedom to use conventional treatments when necessary.
In the cellar, the wines are classically made, in cement tanks for the reds, and stainless steel for the whites. They are then are aged in barrel for up to fifteen months, with 80% new wood for the grand crus, 50% for the village wines and 30% for the regional wines. Anne is quietly meticulous and almost obsessive about cleanliness in her cellar, which perhaps is reflected in the delicacy and restrained tension in her wines, which have aromatic clarity, limpid precision, sheer joie de vivre, lively balance and persistence.

Slightly paler than the Crays, this is all in finesse. Slightly leaner too - a blade-like slipping wet stone and rock juice. It's immensely attractive without being as 'large' as the Crays.
