Vintage Character Domaine Gros Frère et Sœur Richebourg Grand Cru 2007 comes from the domaine’s 0.7‑hectare parcel planted in 1985 and 1989, located in the heart of Richebourg, one of Burgundy’s most revered vineyards. The 2007 vintage in Burgundy was shaped by a cool, damp summer followed by a warm, dry September, which allowed for a late but successful harvest and produced wines of aromatic lift, freshness, and fine balance rather than sheer power.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this Pinot Noir reveals aromas of ripe raspberry, strawberry, and cherry, layered with violet, tea leaf, truffle, and subtle spice. The palate is medium‑bodied yet concentrated, with lively acidity, firm but integrated tannins, and a mineral backbone that carries through to a long, persistent finish. Its combination of energy and complexity makes it a versatile partner for roast duck with five‑spice, braised beef cheeks, or aged Comté, where its savory depth and aromatic nuance shine.
Winery Background The Gros family has been a cornerstone of Vosne‑Romanée for generations, and Domaine Gros Frère et Sœur, founded in 1963 by Gustave Gros and today managed by Bernard Gros, is renowned for its holdings in prestigious grands crus including Richebourg, Échézeaux, and Clos de Vougeot. Their philosophy emphasizes low yields, meticulous vineyard care, and a bold cellar style: grapes are hand‑harvested, fully destemmed, and fermented with selected yeasts, with fermentation temperatures allowed to rise at the end of cuvaison to maximize extraction. Ageing is carried out in 100% new French oak barrels for their grands crus, followed by bottling without fining or filtration to preserve purity and structure. This assertive approach, combined with the elegance of the 2007 vintage, has given their Richebourg a reputation for both power and refinement, making it one of the domaine’s most emblematic and collectible wines.
