Domaine A.F. Gros : Chambolle-Musigny Village Domaine 2024

The elegance and finesse of a red wine from Chambolle-Musigny

The estate

Founded in 1988 by Anne-Françoise Gros and her husband François Parent, Domaine A.F. Gros is a key name in Burgundy. Born from the union of two prestigious winemaking families, the estate combines the expertise of Vosne-Romanée with that of Pommard. Today, the domaine is led by the new generation, Caroline and Mathias Gros. They oversee a vineyard of around fourteen hectares spread across prestigious appellations. True to their values, the family is committed to producing authentic wines that reflect the purity of each terroir through sustainable and meticulous viticulture.

The vineyard

The plots dedicated to this cuvée are located in the southern part of the Chambolle-Musigny appellation. The vines thrive under a continental climate, on shallow soils composed of limestone, gravel and stones. This particular geology ensures excellent drainage and gives the grapes remarkable finesse. The domaine favours a sustainable farming approach, limiting chemical intervention to preserve the health of the ecosystems and the vitality of the soils.

The vintage

2024 was marked by particularly wet and demanding weather conditions. After a mild winter, spring brought abundant rainfall, disrupting flowering in mid-June. This high humidity led to significant fungal pressure, requiring intensive work in the vineyards. A window of dry, windy weather in mid-September allowed the harvest to be accelerated, although further rain arrived at the end of the month. These climatic challenges led to a significant drop in yields.

Winemaking and aging

The making of the Chambolle-Musigny Village "Domaine" 2024 follows a philosophy of minimal intervention in order to preserve the authenticity of the fruit. The grapes undergo rigorous selection at harvest before being vinified with precision to fully express the typicity of their terroir of origin.

Grape variety

Pinot Noir (100%).
