Domaine A.-F. Gros, Vosne-Romanee Aux Reas 2023

Pulled out half a hectare (161/49 rootstock issue) after 2022 and replanted in 2023. Mid crimson to ruby, with a slightly more savoury nose than the Chalandins. Discreet up front then some cherries emerge further back. A spicy style of Vosne after the gloss of Chalandins, with perhaps greater length as well as structure.

Drink from 2029-2034. Tasted Oct 2024.
