Red dry
“Pinot Noir” from the single Fontaine Saint Martin vineyard, which belongs exclusively to the Michel Gros winery.
This wine, although typically intense and requiring patience for its charm to fully unfold, already displays a lovely balance of freshness and concentrated fruit. Expect dense and dark fruit, supported by subtle tannins.
The Hautes-Cotes de Nuits vineyards grow 100 meters higher than the vines in the main "Golden Slope" appellations, resulting in lower temperatures and slower ripening of the grapes. The Fontaine Saint Martin vineyard is special not only for its nearly thousand-year history but also for its soil – a mixture of marble, clay, and limestone, similar to that found on the Corton hill.
The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels.
Serve at 14-16 °C with lamb steak, duck breast or venison with cranberry 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.
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’.
Prestigious Vineyards
Domaine Michel Gros possesses exceptional vineyards in prestigious locations within the Côte de Nuits and Hautes-Côtes de Nuits.
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.
