Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Le Grand Maupertui Anne Gros 1996

The wine

Extremely well-balanced, the Clos de Vougeot Le Grand Maupertui from the Domaine Anne Gros is of a rare magnitude. It has a lovely velvety-purple colour with dark fruit and spicy aromas. A wine with an excellent cellaring capacity, as it ages it develops delicious candied aromas. However, Anne Gros insists that her wines should also be tasted before they age.

About the Producer Anne Gros

When she took over from her father in 1988, as she was only 18, Anne Gros was a young energetic woman, more interested in books than in becoming a winemaker! Nevertheless, she took on alone the work in the vines and was responsible for vinification and managing the business. In 1990 she bottled all of the harvest and connoisseurs around the world discovered the strength, finesse, delicateness and precision of her wines. The domain was officially established in 1995. Within ten years, she made it into one of the best and most renowned domains from the Côte de Nuits. Besides Clos Vougeot, Vosne Romanée and Chambolle Musigny, other appellations from new plots were added to the range (Hautes Côtes de Nuits et Bourgogne for example).
