Anne Gros’s parcel in Clos de Vougeot lies within the revered lieu-dit Le Grand Maupertui, one of the vineyard’s finest sectors. Here, old vines on shallow clay-limestone soils produce a Grand Cru Pinot Noir of remarkable depth and precision. Where Echézeaux offers silk and perfume, Clos de Vougeot delivers power, structure, and grandeur—all interpreted with Gros’s signature finesse.
