Gros 家族在 Vosne-Romanee 生產葡萄酒的歷史可以追溯到 160 多年以前，最早先是以 Domaine Gros-Renaudot為名，擁有在 Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, Grand Echezeaux 和 Echezeaux 等重要產區中的頂級葡萄園。家產在 1963年分家成四份，由其中大女兒 Collette 和大兒子 Gustave 所分得的部份合併組成了 Domaine Gros Frere et Soeur。由於這兩人都沒有子嗣(未婚)，所以在 1980 年找來姪子二弟 Jean 的兒子 Bernard Gros 協助釀酒。從 1984 年起，便全權交由 Bernard 獨立經營，Bernard 雖然年紀輕，但由於生長在葡萄酒世家，自小耳濡目染，對於葡萄園的管理與釀酒，自有相當獨到的見解。他陸續購買一些相當不錯的 Hautes Cotes de Nuits 的葡萄園，分別種植 Pinot Noir 和Chardonnay，也幾乎重新栽種了所有葡萄園將近 90%的葡萄樹，以追求更高品質的葡萄。在釀酒的方面，他一方面遵循家族的傳統，一方面也引入現代的設備與技法，所有的葡萄皆採用手工採收、篩選，100%去梗之後放入大型的水泥槽中進行發酵。他偏好自行去購買原材加以風乾之後交由製桶廠來代製為理想標準的橡木桶，所有的酒除了 Hautes Cotes de Nuits 之外都是使用 100%的新木桶來進行陳年培醞，而 Hautes Cotes de Nuits 則是使用Vonse-Romanee 使用過 1~2 年的木桶。經過 30 幾年來的經營，Bernard Gros 把原先屬於姑姑與大伯所擁有的 Domaine Gros Frere et Soeur 招牌擦得更亮，除了因為擁有難得的 Richebourg、Grands Echezeaux、Echezeaux 以及就位在 Musigny 旁的 Clos de Vougeot “Musigni”等四塊頂級園的得天獨厚因素之外，他自身對釀酒事業的投入與心血，才是造就今日不凡名聲的最重要原因。全世界的酒迷幾乎沒有不認識暱稱為”金杯”的 Domaine Gros Frere et Soeur ，這樣得肯定就是把代表勝利的榮耀獎杯頒給 Bernard Gros！
目前酒莊的釀酒重任已正式在2016年交棒給Bernard的兒子Vincent負責. 不同於父親Bernard的飽滿濃郁圓潤肥美, Vincent接手之後降低新桶使用比例(2020年的新桶比例不超過5%!), 並且不再使用二氧化硫, 正逐步將金盃帶向另外一個清麗秀雅的新境界!!

| 1.20 | Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits Blanc(白) | 75 | 86~88 | $1,490 |
| Ripe and nicely fresh aromas include those of white peach, citrus and subtle floral wisps. The delicious, plump, round and succulent medium weight flavors that culminate in an appealingly dry finale. This should drink well shortly after release | ||||
| 2.20 | Bourgogne Rouge | 75 | 86~89 ♥ outstanding | $1,240 |
| Fresh, pure and pretty aromas include those of various red berries along with spice and earth hints. There is both good verve and a lovely texture to the delicious flavors that offers solid depth and persistence on the bitter cherry pit-inflected finish. Worth a look. | ||||
| 3.20 | Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits Rouge | 75 | 86~89 ♥ outstanding | $1,300 |
| Slightly more elegant and cooler aromas are comprised by notes of red currant, violet and a hint of jasmine tea. The delicious and nicely delineated middle weight flavors exude a refreshing salinity on the balanced and lingering finish. This too is worth considering. | ||||
| 4.20 | Vosne Romanee | 75 | 88~91 | $3,080 |
| Discreet but not invisible wood surround the spicy dark currant scents that reveal hints of the exotic that are picked up by the rich, round and plump medium-bodied flavors that display fine length on the reasonably well-balanced finish where the only nit is a trace of warmth. | ||||
| 5.20 | Echezeaux GC | 75 | 91~93 | $7,920 |
| Discreet wood frames fresh and layered aromas of red and dark currant, floral and anise whiffs. The supple, delicious and energetic medium-bodied flavors possess excellent depth on the balanced, focused and sneaky long finale. | ||||
| 6.20 | Clos de Vougeot GC | 75 | 92~94 | $7,920 |
| Here too there is just enough wood present to mention framing the essence of cool, ripe and airy red raspberry, earth and soft spice wisps. The succulent but solidly punchy medium weight plus flavors terminate in a moderately austere, compact and focused finale that delivers both fine depth and persistence. This is really quite good. | ||||
| 7.20 | Richebourg GC | 75 | 91~94 | $20,650 |
| Here the wood influence is very subtle and easily allows the fresh, ripe and pretty aromas of pure red berries, jasmine tea, hoisin and anise. The delicious and vibrant if less concentrated medium weight flavors possess a lovely inner mouth perfume while exhibiting good length on the slightly edgy finale. I suspect that the edginess will round out with time in bottle. | ||||
| 8.20 | Chemin des Moines de Vergy | 75 | N/A | $2,590 |
