Description
While the A.-F. Gros domaine’s holdings are historically from Vosne and Pommard, the new generation has branched out into Beaujolais, purchasing almost 4 hectares in Moulin-à-Vent. The vines are a mix of old and young and are planted on sandy granite soil. This, combined with whole bunch fermentation and winemaking without any new oak, gives a fruity, forward expression of Beaujolais while retaining the seriousness of this famous cru. There is a hint of liquorice on the nose alongside cherry fruit and a dash of pepper, while the palate is creamy, bright and crunchy with a pleasing granite structure behind.
