Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Cuvée Marine Anne Gros 2009

The wine

This cuvée comes from a 1-hectare parcel of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir 0.73 ha). The varieties benefit from the well-draining soils, their south-eastern-facing position and the ideal altitude for ventilation. According to the domain, this cuvée is best enjoyed young. You will enjoy its fresh citrus fruit notes as well as slightly more exotic hints (pineapple, passion fruit). It is matured on lees for one year (30% new oak) which lends a lovely roundness, while tempering the wine’s acidity and minerality. Its saline finish allows for excellent pairings with seafoods.

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).
