Domaine Gros Frère et Soeur
ドメーヌ・グロ・フレール・エ・スール
Profile
ヴォーヌ・ロマネの名門グロ家から派生したドメーヌ・グロ・フレール・エ・スールは、フラジェ・エシェゾー、ヴォーヌ・ロマネ、ヴージョの3村に拠点を構える。特筆すべきは、その所有面積の大部分が特級畑で構成されている点である。具体的には、ヴージョ村のクロ・ド・ヴージョ1.55ヘクタールを筆頭に、フラジェ・エシェゾー村のエシェゾー1.31ヘクタールとグラン・エシェゾー0.37ヘクタール、そしてヴォーヌ・ロマネ村の最高峰の一つであるリシュブール0.65ヘクタールを擁する。一級畑を一切持たず、計4つの特級畑に集中してワイン造りを行う特異な構成は、ブルゴーニュにおいても極めて贅沢な陣容といえる。これら珠玉のテロワールから、各村の個性を映し出した厳格かつ気品あるワインが生み出されている。

History
Domaine Gros Frère et Soeur is a Flagey-Échezeaux estate — part of the extended Gros family that holds significant grand cru land across the Vosne-Romanée area. Flagey-Échezeaux is an administrative commune adjacent to Vosne-Romanée, containing the Échezeaux and Grands Échezeaux Grands Crus within its borders. The Gros family's various branches each own parcels in some of Burgundy's most prized sites.
Winemaking Approach
The domaine works four grand cru parcels spread across three communes — Vougeot, Flagey-Échezeaux, and Vosne-Romanée. At roughly 3.9 ha of grand cru land in aggregate, this is a meaningfully sized holding for a single estate in Burgundy's most tightly parceled zone.
