Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the nose, expect layers of black cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry lifted by violet and rose petal, with hints of whole-bunch spice and subtle cocoa. The palate is dry and medium-full, building from supple, sappy fruit into a finely grained, medium-high tannic frame, with medium-high acidity keeping the texture precise through a long, savory finish. Pair with roast duck, herb-crusted lamb, truffle roast chicken, or wild mushroom risotto.
Winery Background Domaine A.F. Gros is the personal estate of Anne-Françoise Gros, a member of the well-known Gros family of Vosne-Romanée, who established her domaine in the late 1980s. The wines are typically drawn from small parcels and are geared toward purity and clear site expression, with an emphasis on balanced yields and careful élevage in oak to build texture and longevity without overt heaviness. Across the range, the approach favors finesse and detail over brute extraction, allowing the nuances of each Burgundian climat to come through with clarity.
