Anne Gros Vosne-Romanée Village

Vosne-Romanée, France

Anne Gros's entry point to Vosne-Romanée — village Pinot Noir from the red clay-limestone soils demonstrating the characteristic iron-spice mineral complexity of this extraordinary village. Red cherry, raspberry, cinnamon, iron, violets, and the Vosne precision that distinguishes it from all neighbouring villages. Develops magnificently over 10+ years. The most accessible introduction to understanding why Vosne-Romanée commands such reverence.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The Burgundy countryside's traditional preparation and its village wine — rabbit's delicacy allows Vosne's character to lead; cream bridges the wine's silky texture; tarragon mirrors the wine's herbal complexity; mustard bridges the iron mineral
• cheese: The Côte de Nuits cheese tradition and Vosne village wine — the washed-rind cheese's aromatic richness is bridged by the wine's iron mineral and cherry; walnut bread provides structural contrast; the wine's village-level approachability handles the cheese's intensity
