Histoire du domaine
Domaine A.F. Gros was founded in 1988 by Anne-Françoise Gros, a native of Vosne-Romanée and daughter of Jean Gros. Its creation was linked to the division of Jean Gros’s vineyard upon his retirement. Anne-Françoise Gros was then given a portion of the vineyards, whilst her brothers Michel and Bernard established or continued to run their own family estates. Her husband, François Parent, originally from Pommard, has been responsible for the estate’s winemaking since its inception. The estate is based in Pommard, with plots spread across the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits. Mathias Parent joined his father in the winemaking process in 2010 and produced his first vintage on his own in 2013. He is now responsible for winemaking at Domaine A.F. Gros. Caroline Parent joined the family business in 2013 to take charge of sales and administration. Sources consulted indicate that the estate has also acquired a plot in Moulin-à-Vent, although this does not allow for a definitive determination of its current total vineyard area.
