Description

Domaine Anne-Francoise Gros is the coming together of two famous and ancient Burgundian winemaking families. Anne-Francoise is married to Francois Parent of Pommard. Together, along with their children Caroline and Mathieu they make excellent Burgundy at their beautiful estate. This is a unique wine, and not a typical Beaujolais. The Gamay is treated in much the same way as a Burgundian Pinot Noir. With zero carbonic maceration and French oak treatment. Unique in that it`s made like traditional red burgundy and aged in large oak founders for one year. It drinks like a top Beaujolais with aromas of red cherry, cranberry, blackberry, earth and mineral with a touch of baking spice. The palate is medium bodied and generous, with soft red fruit character, plum and liquorice notes. The tannins are supple and the oak well integrated, lovely long finish.
