From the first swirl, aromas rise with bramble and hedgerow fruits weaving through a subtle thread of black pepper spice. It's an invitation to linger, letting these earthy forest notes unfold naturally. On the palate, expect a generous wave of plump fruitiness that coats every corner, backed by tannins so supple they guide rather than grip, mirroring those same wild berry echoes. The fruit shines with remarkable clarity and energy, seamlessly blending into a finish laced with mineral undertones that lingers with precision.

Crafted in 2022, the winemakers took a measured approach, lightly crushing most grapes before fermentation—includng 30% as whole clusters—while skipping pre-fermentation maceration and punching down. This restraint yields a wine bursting with ripe blackberry flavors, fleeting violet whispers, and hints of earth, all wrapped in a velvety smoothness. It offers just the right density to feel substantial, yet stays light on its feet, never overwhelming.

Decanter awarded it 92 points, a nod to its balanced elegance and vivid character.

Picture it enhancing roasted meats or aged cheeses, its vibrancy cutting through with finesse.

France's Burgundy has long been synonymous with wines that reward patience and reflection, and this offering from AF Gros embodies that spirit. Secure your bottle and let its pure fruit and mineral drive transport you straight to the heart of Vosne-Romanee.
