2005 | Domaine Gros Frère et Soeur | Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 'Musigni'

Good deep ruby-red. Black fruits, redcurrant, smoke, minerals and nuts on the complex, soil-driven nose. Voluminous, silky and round, with the impression of soil character carrying through in the mouth; complicating notes of game and leather.

Reviews:

• Burghound: It usually is, here the nose is more reserved with black fruit and earth aromas nuanced by deft oak hints that complement the broad-scaled and powerful full-bodied flavors that are both robust and sappy, culminating in a deep, sweet and impressively layered finish that is dry and austere in the best sense.

• Wine Spectator: Fragrant and supple, this fleshy red evokes floral, vegetal, sweet berry and spice aromas and flavors. It's seductive, layered and backed by lively acidity and solid tannins.

Producer Information

Domaine Gros Frère et Soeur is a Burgundy wine producer based in Vosne-Romanée. It makes a range of Pinot Noir-based wines from some of the region's top vineyards, including the grands crus Richebourg, Échezeaux, Grands Échezeaux and Clos de Vougeot. The domaine also makes white and red Hautes Côtes de Nuits wines, and wines from other vineyards in Vosne-Romanée. Gros Frère et Soeur has its origins in the 1963 division of the Louis Gros estate. This was divided between his four children, and Gustave and Colette Gros combined their shares to form Gros Frère et Soeur. It is currently run by Colette's nephew Bernard Gros. The estate is known for its high use of new oak (in some cases, the grand cru wines get as much as 100 percent new oak). However, the grand cru holdings around Vosne-Romanée are not vast, with just under 0.7 hectares (1.7 acres) in Richebourg, 0.3 hectares (0.7 acres) in Grands Échezeaux and 0.9 hectares (2.2 acres) in Échezeaux. The domaine has more vineyard holdings around Vosne (including in the Premier Cru Les Chaumes) and in the Hautes Côtes de Nuits. It also boasts a 1.5 hectare (3.7 acre) parcel in the Clos de Vougeot, in the northwestern corner between Château du Clos de Vougeot and the walls of the clos below the Musigny vineyard (hence the subtitle "Musigni" – the plot is also known as "En Musigni").
