Description
In a nutshell:
An excellent single vineyard red Burgundy from the Hautes Côtes de Nuits made by renowned Vosne-Romanée producer Michel Gros.
The lowdown:
Medium-bodied on the approachable, supple and rounded palate with ripe tannins, balanced acidity, a grippy firmness and good finish. Traditionally made the wine is first matured in large oak barrels before being transferred to 1 to 3 year old Burgundy barrels that have previously held some of Gros' top cuvées.
The Producer:
The Gros family have been vignerons in the village of Vosne-Romanée since 1830. Michel Gros, who started out in 1995 with a magnificent parcel of vines handed down from his father today has more then 23 hectares under vine in the Côtes de Nuits and the Hautes Côtes from which he makes wines together with his son Pierre. They ensure that yields are kept low, everything is hand-picked and there is a rigorous sorting prior to total destemming. During fermentation, at a maximum of 32 degrees, he uses both pigeage and remontage to ensure a gentle extraction. Racking is kept to a minimum. They use between 30% new oak, for the village wines and 50-80% for their Premier crus.
When to drink:
Drinking well now but will have the capacity to age over the next few years. Try with veal, game, or mushroom based dishes or sauces.
