2002 | Domaine Anne Gros | Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Le Grand Maupertui

Noticeable oak spice frames reluctant earthy, complex and layered black fruit aromas that lead to sexy, round, fresh and surprisingly forward and supple flavors. The wood influence is still pronounced though it's not as strong as it was last year from cask and there is excellent volume and mid-palate density and intensity. This is beautifully balanced and quite powerful on the finish, all wrapped in firm but fine tannins and this will very likely need at least a decade to be at its best. A terrific effort.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Clos Vougeot did particularly well in 2002, and Anne Gros’ Grand Maupertui is no exception. Roses, violets, and assorted red fruits are found in the aromatic profile of this fresh, medium-bodied wine. Broad, satin-textured, and packed with blackberries, red cherries, raspberries, and spices, it is pure, concentrated, dense, and exhibits a long, fruit-packed finish.

• Vinous: Youthful bright, dark red. Musky aromas of red cherry, plum, fig, underbrush and smoked meat, plus hints of caramel and white truffle. Sweet, plush and voluptuous; not particularly precise or high-pitched but mouthfilling and smooth, showing a sexy truffley quality and suggestions of very ripe fruit. Finishes with substantial dusty tannins and excellent length. Anne Gros noted that this wine is 'fuller and sweeter now than it was at the beginning
