The Domaine Michel Gros Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits 2023 is an elegant Pinot Noir produced in the elevated vineyards west of Burgundy’s celebrated Côte de Nuits. The Gros family established itself in Vosne-Romanée in 1830, and Michel Gros represents the sixth generation of this historic Burgundian winegrowing dynasty. The domaine was formally established under Michel Gros in 1979 and today encompasses approximately 23 hectares of vineyards. Its approach combines traditional Burgundian craftsmanship with environmentally considered vineyard practices, including reduced reliance on chemical treatments, soil cultivation and grass cover in suitable parcels. These methods are intended to preserve vineyard balance while allowing the individual character of each appellation to remain clearly expressed.
The grapes for this red Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits are harvested by hand and vinified using traditional methods, with fermentation conducted at controlled temperatures. The wine undergoes approximately eighteen months of maturation, beginning with six months in large oak vessels before a further twelve months in traditional Burgundian barrels, including a restrained proportion of new oak. This measured élevage gives the wine additional structure and complexity without obscuring its fresh Pinot Noir character. The 2023 vintage presents a floral and finely detailed aromatic profile, combining Morello cherry, raspberry and orange blossom with red cherry, subtle kirsch and gentle oak spice. Its medium-bodied palate is shaped by fine-grained tannins, bright acidity and a pleasant chalky mineral character. The fruit remains lively and precise, while the oak contributes framing and savoury depth rather than excessive richness. A lightly structured finish suggests that the wine will be most enjoyable in its youth and over the next several years. It is a refined and versatile red Burgundy that will pair beautifully with roast duck, pork tenderloin, mushroom dishes, charcuterie and soft-rind cheeses.
