Tasting Note
The smallest vineyard at Domaine Anne Gros & Jean-Paul Tollot is also the most prized, and rightly so. Les Carrétals is the one Anne refers to as her little Richebourg, with a pure limestone soil structure and centenarian vines. This wine is a celebration of Carignan, with a cut of Grenache serving as a necessity to lighten up the concentrated, brooding fruit of those old vines. While its by no means a Burgundian wine, Les Carrétals has the most elegance. On the nose it recalls both black raspberry and dark currants, cinnamon, roses and petrichor (rainstorm). Medium bodied with citric-like acidity, and tons of minerality, black cherry and watermelon on the finish, the wine is comparatively mellow with smooth tannins and an approachability that anyone can appreciate. As it opens up, more savory tones emerge.
What does this wine tast like?
Domaine Anne Gros & Jean-Paul Tollot
Southern French spirit, Burgundian soul. The partnership of Burgundian winemakers Anne Gros and Jean-Paul Tollot in the Minervois sets a new standard for quality and character in the Languedoc. Finesse and precision are the two main characteristics of these Minervois wines—words more often used to describe Gros’ Burgundian crus rather than the concentrated reds of the south. Gros has for decades headed her own estate Vosne-Romanée; her partner, Jean-Paul, hails from the family estate of Tollot-Beaut in Chorey-lès-Beaune. The pair wanted to make wine together, but the question was where—and the search, over a few years, brought them to the high-altitude hills of Minervois. The region’s varied terroir, cooler heights (the same altitude as Vosne-Romanée, curiously enough) and very old vines offered just the combination they wanted, for wines that speak of both the sun and of silk in every sip.
