Red dry
A classic-style red Burgundy that reveals the strength, fruit purity, and elegance of the Côte de Nuits region. This wine is made from carefully selected ‘Pinot Noir’ grapes grown in the southern part of Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the “Les Chaliots” vineyard, known for its deep clay and limestone soils.
On the nose, it opens with aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, blackcurrants, and plums, accompanied by subtle notes of earth, nutmeg, cedar, and floral hints. The bouquet is rich yet refined, with a harmonious integration of oak and delicate spice tones.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, elegant, and well-balanced, with soft tannins and lively acidity that provide structure and freshness. The flavor profile unfolds with layers of red berries, vanilla, and gentle spice, complemented by nuances of earth, mushrooms, and toasted oak. The finish is long, warm, and subtly spicy, preserving a vibrant fruit character.
Aged for 15–18 months in French oak barrels, about 20–25% of which are new, this wine represents the authentic style of Michel Gros – graceful, structured, and precise, beautifully expressing the southern character of Nuits-Saint-Georges.
Serving temperature: 16–17 °C; pairs well with duck breast with cherry sauce, veal medallions with mushroom risotto, or aged Brie cheese.
The roots of Domaine Michel Gros, located in Vosne-Romanée, trace back to 1830 when the first member of the Gros family settled here and established their estate in the very heart of the Côte de Nuits. Subsequent generations continued to expand the estate's holdings with dedication, which today encompass 23 hectares. The estate's distinctive pride is the Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru "Clos des Réas," which the Gros family has owned as a monopole since its acquisition in 1860. Today, Pierre Gros, the seventh generation of this winemaking dynasty, supported by his father Michel, continues and develops the work begun by their ancestors. Passionate yet rigorous, Pierre constantly oversees the creation of his wines, meticulously controlling all stages of production – from vine cultivation to bottling.
