Richebourg Grand Cru 2003 :
Le Journal des finances magazine - Mai 2005 :
Robe : Rouge rubis moyennement soutenu. Profonde et brillante
Nez : Epices douces, chocolat, fruité rouge très mûr, violette, et nuances torréfiées.
Bouche : Attaque veloutée. Fruits mûrs éclatant en bouche et tanins friands, fins et précis.
Garde : ouvrir dès 2010, mais parti pour battre des records. Casser pour tout reconstruire
Anne Gros est une femme de caractère. Elle a débuté ses premières vinifications en collaboration avec son père, François, puis elle a gagné son autonomie en 1995. Dix ans de travail acharné et de remise en question permanente ont fait d’elle une référence incontournable de Vosne-Romanée. Elle cultive un style d’un classicisme sans faille. Son travail sans rafle et un élevage en bois neuf (jusqu’à 80% sur les grands crus) donnent au final des vins complexes et harmonieux, bâtis pour très longues gardes.
The wine advocate - Août 2005 :
Produced from a parcel located in the upper, rockier section of its grand cru, the dark-colored 2003 Richebourg explodes from the glass with myriad spices and black fruits. Medium to full-bodied, muscular (yet rafined), and boasting a luxurious velvety texture, it exhibits red cherries, candied blackberries, and cassis as well as untold quantities of spices. Its palate-staining, mouth-coating personality is packed with both fleshy fruit as well as structure-giving tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2022+.
Clos Vougeot Grand Cru, Grand Maupertui 2003 :
La Revue du Vin de France - Novembre 2005 :
En vendangeant très rapidement dès le 25 Août et en pratiquant des cuvaisons courtes, Anne Gros a produit un superbe millésime 2003. Dense et racé, le clos-vougeot est promis à une longue garde.
The wine advocate - Août 2005 :
A hint of reduction could be found in the otherwise delightful aromatics of the 2003 Clos Vougeot, le Grand Maupertui. Its scents of blackberries, black cherries, plums, licorice, and tar lead to an intense character. Its powerful, deep core is crammed with sappy dark berries as well as monstrous levels of ripe yet solid tannin. Projected maturity: 2010-2020.
Bourgogne rouge 2003
Bourgogne Aujourd’hui 65 - Septembre 2005 :
Le domaine déjà très connu des amateurs de la côte de Nuits nous livre ici une cuvée dans l’esprit des autres vins du domaine, richesse et harmonie.
Nez sur la réserve sur des touches de framboises et de grillées. Le vin est rond, est soyeux en bouche, avec une finale encore fermée. Il a besoin de vieillir quelques années.
The wine advocate - Août 2005 :
Produced from three parcels located in the commune of Nuits-St-Georges and Vosne-Romanée as well as in the Hautes Côtes, the 2003 Bourgogne reveals some reduction (this lack of oxygen will dissipate with cellaring). Its oily textured, medium-bodied personality is suave, rich, deep, and packed with aweat black fruits. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2011.
Hautes Côtes de Nuits cuvée Marine 2003
The wine advocate - Août 2005 :
Fashioned in 80% 500-liter barrels (half new, half 1 year old) and 20% stainless steel tanks, the 2003 Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Cuvée Marine (white) reveals fresh minerals and spices. Medium-bodied and sensually textured, it beasts terrific toast, spice, apple, and near flavours in a surprisingly persistent, fleshy format. Drink it over the next 4 years.
Bourgogne route de Flagey 2003
The wine advocate - Août 2005 :
There are two barrels (one new, one 1 year old) of the 2003 Bourgogne Route de Flagey (white). Produced from 7 years old vines, it bursts from the glass with boisterous aromas of spicy pears, white pepper, and candied apples. Light to medium-bodied, it is focused, fresh, and filled with minerals as well as white fruits. Drink it over the next 3 years.
Chambolle-Musigny "La Combe d'Orveau" 2003 :
The wine advocate - Août 2005 :
Also tasted: 2003 Chambolle-Musigny Combe d’Orveaux, 2003 Vosne-Romanée Barreaux. Importer: A Peter Vezan Selection, Paris. Fax: #011-33-1-42-55-42-93
The fine wine review Number 109 - Janvier 2006 : We start with the red Bourgogne-Hautes Côtes de Nuits, from seven year-old vines. The nose is mineral and pure with lavender that continues on the palate. This is a delicious, pure Pinot for drinking young. (85-89).
Bourgogne rouge 2004
The fine wine review Number 109 - Janvier 2006 :
The red Bourgogne , from vines that average 25 years of age, has a lovely smooth, velvet texture and more depth and seriousness to the spiced red fruits in its nose and mouth than in the foregoing wines. (86-89).
Chambolle-Musigny "La Combe d'Orveau" 2004 :
The fine wine review Number 109 - Janvier 2006 :
Anne’s village Chambolle, Combe d’Orveaux is tight in the nose and light and pure with red and black raspberry fruit in the mouth and lots of finesse. This is less hard that it can be in other years, but still not as generous as the Bourgogne. (85-89)
Vosne-Romanée "Les Barreaux" 2004 :
The fine wine review Number 109 - Janvier 2006 :
The Vosne, Barreaux has spices, dark fruit, and floral aromas. In the mouth it is very nervy with good richness and spicy dark fruit. The best version of this wine I know from Anne Gros. (87-91)
Clos Vougeot 2004 :
The fine wine review Number 109 - Janvier 2006 :
The Clos-Vougeot has aromas of spiced black raspberry fruit, and is generous but firm on the palate with open black raspberry fruit and elegance. (91-95)
Richebourg 2004 :
The fine wine review Number 109 - Janvier 2006 :
Last, the Richebourg has a spiced nose with leather and red hots (cinnamon). In the mouth, the wine is spicy with cinnamon. This is not a big Richebourg nor one that explodes in the mouth, and in fact it is somewhat introverted. Still, it is lovely for the minerality and floral flavours, especially violets, the fine length, and the focus. (93-97)
Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Blanc 2004 :
The fine wine review Number 109 - Janvier 2006 :
The Bourgogne-Hautes Côtes de Nuits blanc has minerality on the nose along quince aromas. In the mouth, the wine is very rich and dense with pear and quince fruit and is relatively low in acid. (84/B-)
