Gros wines: History

Domaine Anne GROS (Vosne Romanée) Anne Gros, the only daughter of François Gros, has established a solid character and reputation in the wine world after taking over her father's domaine in 1988. At 25 years old, Anne saw the family domaine grow from 3 to 6.5 ha. Recently, she invested in a new cellar. She is a winegrower suspicious of certitude and fastidious about maintaining her freedom.As a woman winegrower, Anne knew how to prove herself and convince all who doubted of her ability to manage a domaine. She showed that she had not only the shoulders but the head to make her family heritage one of the greatest domaines of Burgundy. In 1984 she had to stop studying Arts to study vines'culture and oenology in Beaune and Dijon. Now her passion for vine and wine as well as her talent, sensitivity and professionalism posit her as a winemaker amateurs can rely on. According to her, "Vine cultivation is extremely important and must be done in harmony with man and terroir(...) Pinot is a difficult varietal to cultivate, it is the most capricious but also the most fantastic." Concerned about practising a viticulture that is more respectful of man, vine and terroir, Anne Gros has taken a keen interest in biodynamic and organic viticulture. Though she believes this philosophy of cultivation is vital for the preservation of the terroir's biodiversity, she refuses to categorize or label the domaine as such. Her work in the vineyard consists especially of deliberate treatments (rational) according to need, ploughing the soil and using compost. Anne Gros vineyards:
