Vintage Character The 2022 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits from Domaine Michel Gros is a vibrant expression of cool-climate Pinot Noir, shaped by a growing season that saw warm, sunny days balanced by refreshing nighttime temperatures. This combination fostered grapes with excellent ripeness and lively acidity, resulting in a wine that is both energetic and nuanced.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded 90 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, it opens with enticing aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, and delicate floral notes, complemented by subtle undertones of forest floor and spice. On the palate, pure, silky red fruit flavors are framed by finely knit tannins and a lively minerality, culminating in an elegant finish with a gentle touch of earthiness that reflects its high-altitude, limestone-rich terroir. Exceptionally versatile at the table, this Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roast duck breast, grilled salmon, or classic French Comté cheese, and can also be enjoyed alongside Cantonese char siu for a refined East-meets-West experience.
