A rare Grand Cru from the heart of Vosne-Romanée
The Domaine Anne Gros Richebourg Grand Cru 2018 is a masterpiece of feminine precision and Burgundian power. From the prestigious Richebourg parcel in Vosne-Romanée, this wine embodies the rare combination of intensity and refinement. The 2018 vintage produced perfectly ripe Pinot Noir grapes, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and elegance.
Tasting notes
In the glass, the wine shows a deep purple color that reflects the purity of Pinot Noir. The nose is exceptionally complex, with aromas of black cherry, raspberry and cranberry, interwoven with floral notes of peony, rose and violet. Spicy nuances of liquorice, vanilla and coriander are complemented by hints of underwood, fresh herbs and a touch of leather. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with firm yet silky tannins and a well-integrated oak character. The finish is long, fresh and slightly spicy, with notes of black pepper and a subtle saltiness.
