Red dry
“Pinot Noir” from the iconic Clos des Réas vineyard, which entirely belongs to the Michel Gros estate.
The wine's aromas are complex, dominated by black cherries and raspberries, with herbaceous notes. The bouquet is deepened by violet and rose accents. On the palate, the wine is fruity, elegant, full-bodied, exhibiting good balance and structure, which is enhanced by long leather and black pepper aftertastes.
“Clos des Réas” is located on a hill overlooking the small Réas valley. The ‘Pinot Noir’ vineyard grows on clay and limestone soil, and the vines are approximately 40 years old.
The harvest is done only by hand, and traditional methods are applied for vinification, with spontaneous fermentation and aging for approximately 18 months in oak barrels.
Serve at 14-16 °C with roasted duck breast, partridge or pheasant.
Monopole. Lovely floral edge. Fine combination of sweet fruit, fragrance, purity and structure for longer ageing. Very complete but really needs several years.
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.
