Red dry
Michel Gros Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Au Vallon AOC 2022 is a classic Burgundy red from the prestigious Hautes-Côtes de Nuits appellation, often associated with elegant ‘Pinot Noir’ wines grown on the higher slopes of the Côte de Nuits.
This wine is produced by Domaine Michel Gros, a long-established estate based in Vosne-Romanée, where the family’s winemaking lineage dates back to the early 19th century. The domaine places strong emphasis on terroir expression and precise handling of ‘Pinot Noir’.
The nose reveals bright red berry notes, complemented by fresh raspberries, cherries, and ripe plums, intertwined with subtle spicy and earthy nuances. The aromatic profile feels natural and well-balanced, supporting rather than overpowering the wine’s structure, conveying vitality and harmony.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with lively acidity and smooth, fine-grained tannins. The fruit character is generous yet restrained, accompanied by delicate hints of forest floor, spice, and light minerality. The finish is dry, clean, and balanced.
The Hautes-Côtes de Nuits appellation, from which this wine originates, represents Burgundy’s higher-elevation vineyards, where cooler climatic conditions and limestone-clay soils allow ‘Pinot Noir’ to express a pure, vibrant profile with clear acidity and elegant structure.
Serve at a temperature of 14-16 °C with roast lamb, 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.
