WINE DESCRIPTION
Tracking the succession and division of domains within these prominent Burgundian families across generations can be challenging. Such is the case for the Gros family, originally known as Louis Gros. This domain was divided into three parts in the 1960s, giving rise to Anne Gros, A-F. Gros, and Gros Frère et Sœur domains. This mention focuses on the latter, whose history began with Colette and Gustave, Louis's children. In 1963, they inherited their 20-hectare estate in Vosne-Romanée, including 4 parcels in Grand Cru: Richebourg, Echezeaux, Grands Echezeaux, and Clos de Vougeot. Bernard, their nephew, took over in 1984, steering the house towards expressive, concentrated wines. Today, his son Vincent has joined the domain, known for generous, structured cuvées that require patience, yielding harmonious wines with a silky, lush texture.
