(from the villages portion of the vineyard). A more elegant, cooler and airier nose speaks of a spicier blend of red currant, wet stone and a hint of herbal tea. The delicious and more consequential flavors possess an almost pungent minerality on the caressing and refined finish where a touch of austerity slowly emerges. This should be reasonably approachable young though I would suggest holding for a few years first in the hopes that more depth will progressively develop Drinking range: 2026 - Rating: 88-90 L&S (Jan 2023)

The weight and fat feel is silky and fine, but aromatically still to develop - unsurprising given that it was racked a week ago - it's very Chambolle in shape, and beautifully pure. Drinking range: 2025 - 2030L&S (Oct 2022)
The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny la Combe d'Orveaux has a lovely bouquet with vibrant red fruit, crushed stone and pressed flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly hard tannins on the entry, but this will soften. Steely finish. A bit standoffish at the moment. Drinking range: 2024 - 2032 Rating: 86-88 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2023)
A light fresh purple. The bouquet is very engaging, all in its light Chambolle charm. They are in a cool spot anyway which, allied to the year, has ensured good acidity. Fresh red fruit, alpine strawberry and raspberry, a healthy oak component in good balance. Attractive. Drinking range: 2025 - 2028 Rating: **** 90-92 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.
