Description

Anne Gros’ partner, Jean-Paul, hails from the family estate of Tollot-Beaut in Chorey-lès-Beaune and the pair have come together to make wine together forming Domaine Anne Gros et Jean Paul Tollot. Ann Gros has, for decades, headed her own estate Vosne-Romanée. Finesse and precision are the two main characteristics of these Minervois wines—words more often used to describe Gros’ wine rather than the full-bodied reds of the south. The region’s combination of terroir, cooler heights, and very old vines offered just the combination for wines that speak of both the sun and of silk in every sip.

Three cepages which complement each other to give us this wonderful cuvée. On this great terroir consisting of limestone and clay soils, facing south, the white blinding limestone of Agel gave us some wines full or great energy. These fine wines, which benefit from careful maturing in barrels, represent a cuvée superbly silky, combined with concentration and a mineral persistence full of finesse.
