Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
This large seven-hectare vineyard in the hills above Nuits-St-Georges is a monopole of the Michel Gros domaine, and offers up great value from the Vosne grower. It has wonderful limestone soils, similar to those found on the hill of Corton, though with a much fresher climate, thanks to its elevation. The vines were planted in the 1970s and 1980s, and at full maturity are producing great concentration, leading to interesting and complex layers in the wine. It has great black cherry density with a slight chalkiness to the finish in 2023 and a firm tannic backbone.
The 2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge Fontaine St Martin has a little more ripeness and exoticism than the Au Vallon, with notes of kirsch and maraschino cherries, though it retains decent freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with a saccharine entry. It is a little tough on the mid-palate at the moment, but it should soften with time.
