A.F. Gros Description

Domaine A-F. Gros is a 10-hectare estate comprised of vineyards situated in both the Côte-de-Beaune and the Côte-de-Nuits. The talented young winemaker, Mathias Parent, possesses one of the most distinguished pedigrees in Burgundy. Through his father’s line, he is descended from 13 generations of Burgundians, including Étienne Parent, who supplied wine to Thomas Jefferson. Through his mother, Anne-Françoise Gros (daughter of Jean Gros), Mathias traces his roots to the storied Louis Gros in the early 19th century. Mathias shares management of the domaine with his sister, the charming and capable Caroline Parent. The Domaine today includes vineyards, mostly Pinot Noir, inherited through both lines of the family.

Pretty and quite spicy aromas of red and dark cherry, violet and a hint of exotic tea precede vibrant and notably finer middle weight flavors that possess an appealing texture as well as solid length on the balanced finale.
