He is a lifelong resident of the town, as were his father and grandfather before him — his mother was even mayor. The Gros family name has been synonymous with Vosne-Romanée for centuries.
Their most famous vineyard is the premier cru monopole “Clos des Réas,” the only one in the appellation. It is a magnificent property, stretching over 2 hectares, and turning out wines described by critics as “supremely elegant,” “opulent” and “genius.” Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

Burghound awarded 92-94 points, praising its “first-rate freshness and verve,” its “laser-like focus,” and its “built to age finish.” His final thought: “This beauty is extremely promising, but patience absolutely required.” The only thing wrong with any of these is their quantity.

Neal Martin writes “I detect a change in tack rather than charting a totally different course.” Like many of his peer group Pierre has moved the domaine toward organics, and if his first few vintages at the helm are any indication, the future at Gros may be even brighter than the past.
Aux Brûlées is always a beautiful wine, a bit slower to mature than Réas, but like Réas is a classic exemplar of the village’s special character. The 2022 is a stunner – an explosive nose of wild cherries and violets, and a palate dripping with inky, perfectly extracted fruit. In this vintage, Neal Martin found “enticing scents of red-currant jam, white-tipped strawberries, and dried white flowers.” Burghound found “red and black pinot fruit, plum and exotic tea scents,” and praised its “utterly delicious and seductively textured medium weight flavors.” Less (-) Free US Shipping | |

As Jasper Morris explained in his seminal book Inside Burgundy, “It makes a supremely elegant Vosne premier cru, relatively low in acid, but the softness is deceptive: the wine ages remarkably well.” The key to this magic may be the well-draining salmon colored marl that underlies it, but in the end the truth of the proposition is in the bottle. Both Ansonia père and Ansonia fils have fond memories of helping to harvest this parcel, and wine from many vintages inhabits the family cellars. Neal Martin called the 2022 vintage “one of the best examples that I gave tasted in recent years,” praising its “perfumed, floral bouquet” and a palate “lightly spiced with fine tannins.” Less (-) Free US Shipping |
