Domaine Anne Gros & Jean Paul Tollot, two renowned Burgundy winemakers, have joined forces in the South of France and started working there. If this top-level collaboration is achieved, success is guaranteed. Anne Gros and Jean Paul Tollot's wines are of high quality and receive excellent reviews in the press.

Domaine Anne Gros & Jean Paul Tollot is located in the Causse, which is undoubtedly the best part of the Minervois, partly due to its altitude, which ranges from 200 m to almost 500 m. This results in the lowest nighttime temperatures in the Minervois and a slower thermal warm-up in spring.

La CinsO from Domaine Anne Gros & Jean-Paul Tollot comes from a 50-year-old vineyard covering one hectare, resulting in a maximum yield of around 1,000 bottles in good years—completely insufficient to meet the global demand for this fine red wine. La CinsO is a creative name to reflect the grapes used for this wine—it is made from Cinsault grapes grown on ancient vines. After being harvested by hand, the Cinsault bunches are selected, destemmed, and lightly crushed. After a short maceration period, temperature-controlled alcoholic fermentation with wild yeasts (native to the grapes) takes place in stainless steel tanks. About three weeks later, the grapes are pressed, and the young wine is transferred to clean stainless steel tanks to undergo malolactic fermentation and mature. After 12 months, the wine is assembled and bottled without fining or filtration.

The La CinsO from Domaine Anne Gros & Jean-Paul Tollot has a deep, dark purple-red color. The nose reveals aromas of black cherries, plums, bay leaf, and a hint of dried oregano. The palate reveals ripe, small, red-black fruit, black olives, and a hint of pepper, which lead to a soft, sultry finish with ripe tannins and lively acidity. It pairs wonderfully with grilled tuna, rabbit with candied garlic, oven-baked chicken, pasta dishes, pizza, eggplant lasagna, and semi-matured goat's or sheep's cheese.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze La CinsO toont donkere kersen- en pruimtonen met laurier en gedroogde oregano, aangevuld met zwarte olijven, een licht peperige toets, rijpe tannines en levendige zuren die voor een zwoele, aanhoudende afdronk zorgen. Dankzij die combinatie van fruitigheid, kruidigheid en frisse zuren snijdt de wijn mooi door het vet van charcuterie en gegrild vlees, vult hij de tomatige en geroosterde smaken van pasta, pizza en auberginelasagne aan en vormt hij een harmonieus contrast met half gerijpte geiten- of schapenkaas. Vooral gegrilde tonijn of kip uit de oven met krokant vel, konijn of kip met gekonfijte knoflook en gegrilde of licht gebakken aubergine in lasagne-achtig gebruik brengen de kruidige en fruitige elementen van de wijn het beste naar voren.

Domaine Anne Gros & Jean Paul Tollot are two very well-known winemakers from Burgundy and have joined forces in the South of France and have started working there and if this top level works together then success is assured. The wines of Anne Gros and Jean Paul Tollot are of high quality and receive wonderful reviews in the press. Dark, smooth wines, convincing and very well made. The use of very old vines gives these wines an unprecedented dimension and depth. We can highly recommend the wines from this house and we are convinced that you will not be as enthusiastic as we are.

The wines they make come from the sub-region de Minervois. The Minervois is one of the largest wine producing areas in the Languedoc Roussillon. From nearly 15,000 hectares of vines, 5,000 of which are intended for the production of AOC wines, the wide range of vins de table, vins de pays and wines from single grape varieties is completed by three different AOCS: the AOC Minervois, the AOC Minervois - La Livinière and the Muscat de Saint Jean de Minervois. The Minervois appellation is divided into 5 different zones: the balconies of the Aude, the Causse, the Mourels, the Petit Causse and the Terrasses.

Domaine Anne Gros & Jean Paul Tollot is located in the Causse which is without a doubt the best part due to its altitude, which varies from 200 m to almost 500 m. This results in the lowest nighttime temperatures in the Minervois and a slower thermal warming in the spring. The semi-mountainous climate of this zone is also characterized by heavier and more regular rainfall than in the Minervois in general. Another important feature of the Causse is the predominance of calcareous soils, which can lead to a very stony surface. Whether the stone is hard or soft, the whiteness it imparts to the soil indirectly heats the plants and grapes through radiation.

The wines of the Causse are often more lively than in the other zones and are characterized by its freshness and its mouth after tannins that take two to three years to soften.
