Red dry
A classic Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir, where the power and structure of Gevrey-Chambertin meet the refined elegance characteristic of Michel Gros’ style. This wine clearly expresses the appellation’s identity: deeper, more serious and grounded than its neighboring villages, yet never aggressive or overworked.
The aroma immediately reveals Gevrey’s signature—black cherries, blackberries and raspberries intertwined with gentle spice, forest floor and a hint of smoke. With aeration, notes of earth, graphite and subtle wild herbs emerge, adding depth and complexity.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and well-structured, while maintaining a silky texture. The tannins are fine-grained and firm yet elegantly integrated; the acidity is lively and precise, supporting purity of fruit and long-term aging potential. Flavors of ripe red and dark berries dominate, accompanied by spices and a subtle limestone minerality. The finish is long, dry and refined, carrying the classic seriousness of Gevrey-Chambertin.
The La Platière vineyard lies on limestone and clay soils, which give the wine its structure, depth and a clear sense of terroir. Here, Michel Gros focuses on precision and balance, allowing the wine to evolve naturally in bottle.
The grapes are hand-harvested, fermentation is carried out with native yeasts, and aging in French oak barrels subtly enhances structure without overshadowing fruit or site character. The result is an authentic, classical Gevrey-Chambertin, suitable both for immediate enjoyment and for cellaring.
Serve at 16–18 °C; pairs well with roast duck and forest berry sauce, veal loin with mushrooms, and mature Comté or Gruyère 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.
