COTEAUX BOURGUIGNONS BLANC
2023 Cuvée Julie Domaine Anne Gros
| Grapes | Chardonnay |
| Colour | White |
| Origin | France, Burgundy |
| District | Côte d'Or |
| ABV | 13.5% |
Julie Gros' little vineyard out by the aerodrome has suffered the indignity of being declassified from Bourgogne to Coteaux Bourguignons, having been deemed a little too far away from the Côte to be upgraded to Bourgogne Côte d'Or. A shame as it's not a bad little terroir, on a mound of material washed down from the combe. Fatter as you'd expect than the Hautes Cotes, no stones but plenty of gourmandise. Drinking range: 2026 - 2030 L&S (Nov 2024)

The 2023 Côteaux Bourguignon Blanc is the same as the Bourgogne Blanc. It has a well-defined bouquet with light orange pith and citrus scents. The palate has an attractive texture, quite rounded and slightly honeyed, with a dash of stem ginger toward the finish. Drink over three to four years. Drinking range: 2025 - 2029 Rating: 85-87 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2025)
Formerly Bourgogne Chardonnay. Pale colour, a little more weight from the clay soil as you would expect from down in the plain, good acidity to create some tension on the palate, and decent length. Drinking range: 2026 - 2027 Rating: *** Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Nov 2024)
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.

20-30% Pinot Blanc in the vineyard. Long fermentation, so still half-made when we tasted. Good volume and body, it's something a little different, but very likeable. Not very deep soils - it's on pebbles.
