A more deeply pitched, and even spicier nose is comprised by notes of plum, red currant and blueberry. The barely middleweight flavors are on the lighter side (though by no means dilute) while also exuding evident minerality on the balanced, dusty, youthfully austere, more complex and more structured finale. Drinking range: 2028 - Rating: 88-91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2023)
The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Les Barreaux offers dark berry fruit on the nose, a touch of wild thyme and hints of rosemary. The palate is smooth and caressing, fine tannins, redcurrant and wild strawberry with a dab of black pepper on the finish. One of the more successful wines from the Domaine - a treat. Four barrels produced. Drinking range: 2025 - 2038 Rating: 90-92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2023)
Two new barrels in 5, a tiny crop with very old vines. A bright deep red purple. The bouquet offers much more concentration here. An impressive distinction about this. This exhales beautifully on the palate albeit with firmer tannins behind. The dark fruit stays light on its feet but delivers energy, and length.

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.
