Domaine Michel Gros Bourgogne Cote d'Or 2022 750 ml

Description:

Winery Background: Domaine Michel Gros, established in 1830, is a family-owned estate in Vosne-Romanée, Burgundy. The Gros family has cultivated vineyards for six generations, emphasizing traditional methods and expressing the unique terroir of their plots.

Wine Description: This 100% Pinot Noir wine presents a bright ruby hue. Aromas of maraschino cherries, mulberries, and a hint of orange zest create a perfumed bouquet. The palate is sweet on entry, with low acidity, offering a fleshy and dense texture. While it provides immediate pleasure, it may benefit from additional precision on the finish.

Food Pairing: This wine pairs well with dishes like coq au vin, roasted duck breast, or mushroom risotto. These pairings highlight the wine's depth and character.

Vintage Quality: The 2022 vintage in Burgundy experienced a relatively cool early spring, allowing for a cautious start to the growing season and avoiding frost damage in early April. From mid-April, temperatures rose rapidly, promoting vigorous vine growth. A significant rainfall in June prevented water stress, resulting in a generous harvest of high-quality grapes. The wines from this vintage are ample and rich, with a balance of acidity, silky tannins, and vibrant fruit flavors.
