Red dry

Michel Gros Nuits-Saint-Georges 2023

77,00

Description

A red wine from the Côte de Nuits region that reflects Michel Gros’s craftsmanship and the true character of the Nuits-Saint-Georges terroir. This is a wine that unites structure, depth, and elegance, expressing the purity and authenticity of the ‘Pinot Noir’ grape.

On the nose, it opens with aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and cranberries, accompanied by notes of earth, cedar, nutmeg, pepper, and delicate floral hints. The bouquet is rich yet harmonious, maintaining Burgundy’s hallmark refinement and subtle spiciness.

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, elegant, and concentrated, with soft tannins and fresh acidity that provide both structure and longevity. The flavor reveals layers of red fruits, cherry liqueur, vanilla, and gentle oak, followed by nuances of earth, mushrooms, and spice, adding depth and complexity. The finish is long, warm, and balanced, with lingering notes of cherries, tobacco, and a touch of smoke.

The grapes are grown in the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, where clay and limestone soils dominate. Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts, and the wine is aged for 15–18 months in French oak barrels, about 20–25% of which are new.

Serving recommendations

Serving temperature: 16–17 °C; pairs well with duck breast with cherry sauce, veal medallions with mushrooms, or aged Comté cheese.

About brand

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.
