"The wines now offer a new layer of finesse and purity of fruit, with a delicate rose petal character, taking their expression to new heights of pleasure and quality. ”

Domaine Michel Gros finds its home in Vosne Romanée - arguably the most famous village of the Côte de Nuits, and the location of many of Burgundy’s most iconic vineyards, including La Romanée, La Tâche, and Richebourg. This village really is a who's who of Burgundy royalty. As you enter the village Jean-Yves Bizot's house is to the right and as your turn left you pass by Michel Gros' house, Anne Gros' house and then Madame Leroy's house. A stone’s throw away from the hallowed soils of Domaine Romanée-Conti - this sleepy little village is a go-to for Burgundy aficionados.

Michel Gros had the great fortune to inherit the renowned Clos des Réas vineyard, a 2 hectare monopole in Vosne-Romanée, owned by the family since 1860. The style of Michel’s wines – concentrated, rich and muscular – followed the style of the traditional wines of the Clos des Réas. Michel has now passed the mantle to his son Pierre, an engineer by training as well as an oenologist. While Pierre looks set to continue working in the muscular style typcial of the domaine, he joins this with a greater degree of precision and elegance. The wines now offer a new layer of finesse and purity of fruit, with a delicate rose petal character, taking their expression to new heights of pleasure and quality.

Gros’ Bourgogne Rouge is always worth considering, since it comes from vines wholly planted in VosneRomanée. In 2021, it shows a “pretty and very pinot nose of red berries and subtle earth nuances…. 86-88 Points” Allen Meadows, Burghound

The Chambolle-Musigny Villages consists two thirds of fruit from Premier Cru vineyard Les Argillières, which abuts Grand Cru Musigny. The 2021 shows “spicy aromas of plum, dark currant and violet… trimmed in just a soupçon of wood. There is very good volume to the sleek, refined and punchy medium-bodied flavors…. 88-91 Points” Allen Meadows, Burghound

As always, the jewel in the crown of Domaine Michel Gros is the Clos des Réas, which shows “a fragrant bouquet with sensual wild strawberry and raspberry notes, orange blossom and crushed rock…. This might be one of the most nuanced and desirable Clos des Réas that I have encountered from this address. Bravo. 92-94 Points” Neal Martin, Vinous  

"Worth Seeking Out" Neal Martin, Vinous

"Michel's wines are supremely elegant and age remarkably well" Jasper Morris, MW
