ProducerDomaine AF Gros

Domaine AF Gros is owned by Anne-Françoise who inherited vineyards in Savigny, Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny, Echézeaux and Richebourg from her parents Jean and Jeanine Gros.

Their daughter, Caroline, and son, Mathias, have now taken charge of both estates and continue to make extremely classic, elegant wines with great ageing potential.
