A spicy and notably floral nose showcases the appealingly layered array of red and dark currant, sandalwood and tea scents. There is fine richness to the sleekly muscular medium weight flavors that also exude a subtle minerality onto the mouth coating, firm and velvety finale. This should drink reasonably well after only 5 years or so in bottle but should be capable of rewarding up to a decade's worth. Drink: 2022+ - BH90~93
The domaine was established in 1988 when the parents of Anne-Françoise, Jean and Jeanine Gros of Vosne-Romanée decided to let go of a few parcels of the family domaine (The domaine was initially known under the names of Gros-Renaudot, then Louis Gros, and after inheritance, Jean Gros).
At the same time Anne-Françoise aquired a domaine in Flagey-Échezeaux, and later with her husband, François Parent, purchased a vineyard in Savigny-les-Beaune.
Shortly thereafter, François added to the domaine his own vineyards in Pommard that he inherited from his family. Being the 13th generation of winemakers, he continues to aquire knowledge and techniques that enable him to vinify his wines so that they express the typicity and complexity of the aromas of the Pinot Noir.
Together they decided to unite the two domaines and install in Beaune the caves, cuverie and buildings.
