Description

Classic red Burgundy wine from Nuits-Saint-Georges, the Michel Gros estate.

The wine's aromas unfold with savory sea and dried herb notes, along with tart cranberry scents. The palate is dominated by ripe red berry and blackberry accents, while a fresh minerality note emerges in the finish.

The ‘Pinot Noir’ grapes grow in four locations in the northern part of Nuits-Saint-Georges (Les Athees, Les Lavieres, Les Bas de Combe, and La Perriere-Noblet).

The origin of the northern sector's soil is gravel washed down from the slope, while in the lower areas, the soil is formed from silt deposits of the Meuzin River.

The wine's aging took place in French oak barrels for 16 months (50% of which were new).

Serving recommendations

Serve at 14 - 16 °C with lamb roast, duck breast or venison with lingonberry sauce.

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.

Wine Style

Domaine Michel Gros wines are characterized by elegance, subtlety, and a superb reflection of the Vosne-Romanée and other prestigious Burgundy terroirs. Great emphasis is placed on the unique character of the ‘Pinot Noir’ variety and the elegance of ‘Chardonnay’.

  • Red Wine is aromatic, with smooth yet firm tannins, an elegant structure, and vibrant notes of red and dark berries, spices, and earth. The wines exhibit excellent balance and a long, complex finish.
  • White Wine (predominantly ‘Chardonnay’) from Domaine Michel Gros displays elegance and minerality typical of the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits region. Aromas include white flowers, citrus fruits, and subtle hazelnut notes. The wine is fresh, well-balanced, and pairs beautifully with various dishes.

Prestigious Vineyards

Domaine Michel Gros possesses exceptional vineyards in prestigious locations within the Côte de Nuits and Hautes-Côtes de Nuits.

  • Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru "Clos des Réas" is a monopole vineyard of the estate, renowned for its exceptional quality and elegance. The wines from this vineyard are considered among the finest in Vosne-Romanée.
  • Other important red vineyard holdings of the estate are located in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny, and Nuits-Saint-Georges appellations, each contributing to the diversity and complexity of the wines.
  • Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Blanc Fontaine Saint Martin is one of the estate's white vineyards, where ‘Chardonnay’ is cultivated. This vineyard is known for its unique terroir, which imparts minerality and complexity to the wine.

Great attention is paid to vineyard care throughout the year, employing sustainable viticulture methods to ensure optimal ripening of the ‘Pinot Noir’ and ‘Chardonnay’ grapes and the highest quality of wine.

Aging and Drinking Period

Domaine Michel Gros wines exhibit excellent balance and elegance, allowing them to be enjoyed both young and mature. The Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru "Clos des Réas" and other high-end red wines possess great potential for long aging, during which their complexity, subtle tannins, and elegant aromas unfold. The white wines are often fresh and enjoyable in their youth, although some higher-end ‘Chardonnay’ can also gain further complexity with bottle aging.
