WINE DESCRIPTION
Anne Gros, a respected winemaker from Burgundy, collaborates with her husband, Jean Paul Tollot, managing 18 hectares on the border of Minervois and Saint Chinian.
The remarkable partnership between renowned Burgundy winemaker Anne Gros and her husband Jean-Paul Tollot creates a unique expression of Languedoc terroirs, captivating Syrah, Grenache, and other Carignan grapes. This collaboration results in the Domaine Anne Gros and Jean-Paul Tollot, elevating the Appellation's reputation. Attentive to vine cultivation and each variety's nuances, these exceptional winegrowers excel in crafting distinctive cuvées.
Situated in the Minervois, specifically the Causse, the Domaine benefits from an altitude ranging from 200 to almost 500 meters. This region experiences lower nighttime temperatures and slower spring warming, accompanied by more regular rainfall than the rest of Minervois.
Anne Gros and Jean Paul Tollot work with three distinct terroirs: Côte de Brian, Minervois, and Minervois Cazelles.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
On the nose, La Ciaude offers an enticing bouquet of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums, accompanied by hints of spices and herbs.The aromas are beautifully integrated, creating a harmonious and complex profile.
The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and velvety texture that coats the mouth. The flavors of dark fruits continue to shine, accompanied by notes of black pepper, licorice, and a touch of earthiness. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure and balance to the wine.
The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of fruit and spice. This wine has excellent aging potential, allowing it to develop further complexity and depth over time.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine Anne Gros & Jean-Paul Tollot
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Languedoc-Roussillon is an expansive wine region in the south of France stretching from Nîmes and Montpellier east along the Mediterranean coast and inland to the Spanish border. It is the largest wine-producing region in the country, with a long and rich history of winemaking.
The Languedoc-Roussillon region has been producing wine since the Roman Empire. It was the first region in France to produce sparkling wines, and it has been a major producer of fortified wines since the Middle Ages. In the 19th century, the region was known for its sweet wines, but in the 20th century, it began to focus on producing dry wines.CUSTOMER RATING
