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

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.
