Always a highly-regarded vineyard as it is just around the corner from Cros Parantoux, but it faces north, so can never be a premier cru. Can be quite austere in its youth, although not in 2023, says Paul - the expression is almost the opposite of their Chambolle. Black fruit and richness, fine tannins and a beautifully textured feel - very attractive. There's still fruit in the mouth a minute later. Drinking range: 2031 - 2040 L&S (Nov 2024)

A very Vosne-like nose features plenty of spice and exotic tea nuances on the darker fruit aromas where a suggestion of kirsch lurks in the background. The rich, suave and very generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors are at once seductive but punchy before terminating in a firm, serious and balanced finale where a touch of youthful austerity slowly emerges. This is a very good villages and worth checking out. Drinking range: 2031 - Rating: 89-91 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2025)

A magical ruby purple colour, very enticing. I love the nose too, so lively, picked at the perfect moment, raspberry more than strawberry, but a little bit of cherry too. The volume of this fruit, now in a slightly darker berry mode on the palate, covers the bone structure to deliver a velvet quality in the texture, with beautiful persistence. Drinking range: 2028 - 2035 Rating: ***** Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy  (Nov 2024)

The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Les Barreaux has a light, tertiary, tobacco-tinged bouquet that gradually opens in the glass, overtly classic in style. The palate is fresh on the entry with a little more acidity than its peers, open-knit with slightly piquant red fruit toward the finish. Drink over six or seven years. Drinking range: 2026 - 2035 Rating: 88-90 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (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.
