Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Unfurling in the glass with aromas of red berries rose petals sweet soil tones and orange rind the 2019 Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles is medium to full-bodied ample and velvety with a fleshy core of fruit and a vibrant seamless profile concluding with a fragrant peony-inflected finish.

• Allen Meadows: Here too there is a whiff of volatile acidity that plays at the edge of perceptibility on the mostly red berry fruit and spice infused nose. There is a lovely sense of refinement to the nicely rich and well-delineated flavors that exude a bracing salinity on the sneaky long firm and youthfully austere finale.

Producer Information

Domaine A.F. Gros is a domaine based in Pommard that produces Pinot Noir at village, premier cru and grand cru levels from the communes of Pommard, Beaune, Savigny-les-Beaune, Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny. The estate is one of three formed in 1988, when Jean and Jeanine Gros began to divide their estate (Domaine Jean Gros) among their three children, Michel, Bernard and Anne-Françoise. In addition, Colette Gros at Domaine Gros Frère et Soeur (which Bernard manages) is an aunt, while Anne Gros is a cousin. Today Anne-Françoise’s childen Caroline and Mathias are at the forefront of the domaine. The wines are made by Mathias, who took over in 2011 from his father Francois Parent – regarded as one of the leading Pommard winemakers over recent decades. The latter’s share of his family estate – Domaine Parent – was added to the estate on his marriage to Anne-Françoise. Parent also makes wines under his own label. After manual harvest and careful sorting, the grapes are all de-stemmed and undego cold maceration for four to five days. They are then fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for a further two to three weeks, during which there are some punchdowns and pumpovers.
