The 2023 Domaine Michel Gros Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge is a refined, cool-climate Pinot Noir grown in the elevated hills behind the Côte de Nuits. Its fragrant bouquet combines Morello cherry, raspberry and black cherry with orange blossom, violet, dried herbs and a subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely structured, offering juicy red fruit, fresh acidity and delicate, fine-boned tannins. Gentle oak maturation provides additional texture without overwhelming the fruit, while a pleasantly chalky, savoury finish brings definition and classic Burgundian character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent introduction to Michel Gros and a versatile choice for those seeking elegant, approachable red Burgundy. Enjoy now after 30 minutes of aeration or cellar through 2029. Serve slightly cool with roast chicken, duck, pork tenderloin, mushroom dishes, charcuterie or mild washed-rind cheeses.
