Red dry
An expressive, elegant, and authentic red Burgundy that reflects Michel Gros’s ability to combine the purity of the Hautes-Côtes hillsides with the refinement of Côte de Nuits. This wine is made from ‘Pinot Noir’ grapes grown in one of the highest-altitude vineyards owned by the Gros family within the appellation.
The bouquet opens with aromas of red cherries, raspberries, cranberries, and rose petals, complemented by hints of earth, gentle spice, and vanilla. The nose is bright, subtle, yet deep, showcasing the classic freshness of Hautes-Côtes de Nuits and the precision typical of Michel Gros’s style.
On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, elegant, and harmonious, with silky tannins and precise acidity that lend both structure and energy. Flavors of ripe red berries, delicate spice, vanilla, and light oak dominate, followed by earthy, herbal, and faintly smoky nuances. The finish is long, refined, and fresh, preserving Burgundy’s natural fruit-driven vitality.
The grapes come from the Fontaine Saint-Martin vineyard, located at over 400 meters above sea level. The limestone and clay soils give the wine minerality and structure. Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts, and the wine is aged for 12–15 months in French oak barrels, about 20% of which are new.
Serve at 16–17 °C. Pairs well with roast duck with cherry sauce, veal medallions with mushroom butter, or mature Comté 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.
