Anne Gros describes the '99s as fruity and voluptuous, with good acidity as in '98. "The wines are unctuous and deep, and not at all aggressive," she added, "but the '98s may be more classic." Gros carried out a severe claircissage in her younger vines to hold down yields, and in her two grand crus brought in fruit with potential alcohol above 13.5%.

Anne Gros completed a spanking new cuverie behind her house in time for the 1999 harvest. The new facility is completely air-conditioned and also features more effective heat exchangers to cool the must. The '98s showed stunningly in November; the challenge will be to get their extraordinary perfume and silky texture into the bottle. The crop was of a normal size in '98, said Gros, and the fruit was very ripe but without surmaturite.
