The Richebourg 1999 has likely reached its peak drinking window. It remains impressively powerful, offering complex layers of spices, chocolate, and dark fruit.

About Domaine A-F. Gros
Domaine A-F. Gros is a famous estate established in 1988 by Anne-Françoise Gros and François Parent. Specializing in red wines crafted from Pinot Noir, the estate produces a variety of expressions, including Premier and Grand Crus. Though based in Pommard, their vineyards span prestigious appellations like Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny, Beaune, and Savigny-les-Beaune.
The estate originated from the Domaine Jean Gros in the late 20th century, with Anne-Françoise inheriting a portion. Her brothers, Michel and Bernard, established Domaine Michel Gros and Domaine Gros Frère et Soeur. Additionally, their niece operates Domaine Anne Gros.
After Anne-Françoise’s marriage to François Parent, his share of Domaine Parent was incorporated into Domaine A-F. Gros. François also released wines under his own label with a signature black truffle emblem.
Although the estate is based in Pommard, the various wines are produced in the center of Beaune. François previously oversaw operations, but today their son Mathias manages the vineyards and vinification, while their daughter Caroline leads estate development and marketing. Caroline also produces wines under her personal label, Caroline Parent.
