Vintage Character Domaine Gros Frère et Sœur Richebourg Grand Cru 2020 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 for producing wines of immense power and longevity. The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was widely regarded as excellent, shaped by a warm, dry summer and cool nights that yielded reds of concentration, ripe fruit, and balanced freshness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, this Pinot Noir reveals aromas of ripe raspberry, strawberry, and cherry, layered with violet, plum, and subtle spice. The palate is full‑bodied and structured, with firm yet polished tannins, a core of red and black fruit, and a mineral backbone that carries through to a long, persistent finish. Its depth and intensity make it a versatile partner for roast pigeon with herbs, beef tenderloin with truffle jus, or aged Époisses cheese, where its layered character and richness 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 exceptional 2020 vintage, has given their Richebourg a reputation for both power and refinement, making it one of the domaine’s most emblematic and collectible wines.
