Domaine Michel Gros Collection

Pure Aristocratic Elegance in the Côte de Nuits Headquartered in the legendary winemaking village of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine Michel Gros represents one of the most prestigious lineages in Burgundy. The Gros family history in Vosne dates back to 1830, when Alphonse Gros established the family’s first vineyard holdings. Following generations of division and expansion, Michel Gros—who took over management from his father Jean Gros in 1995 and is now joined by his son Pierre—has maintained the estate’s reputation for crafting remarkably consistent, aromatic, and velvety Pinot Noir.

Domaine Michel Gros is distinguished by its meticulous parcel selection, pristine cellaring, and management of historic sites, most notably its iconic monopole Premier Cru, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Clos des Réas. By combining traditional Burgundian passion with modern technical precision, the domaine delivers wines characterized by supple tannins, opulent red fruit, and seamless cellaring longevity.

Viticultural Philosophy & Winemaking Craft

• Precise Vineyard Management: The domaine farms over 23 hectares across Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis, and the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits. Sustainable viticulture and low yields preserve natural acidity and fruit purity.

• Controlled Maceration & Temperature Control: Grapes are 100% destemmed before undergoing a temperature-controlled fermentation to extract vibrant color and silky tannins without harsh astringency.

• Custom Oak Maturation: Wines are aged in French oak barrels (ranging from 30% new oak for Village bottlings to 100% new oak for Grand Crus and top Premier Crus) for 18 months, imparting subtle spice, vanilla, and structural complexity.

Portfolio Highlights & Iconic Monopoles

• Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Clos des Réas (Monopole): The crown jewel of the estate. A triangle-shaped, 2.12-hectare vineyard owned exclusively by the Gros family since 1860. Famed for its silky texture, intoxicating aromas of violet, raspberry liqueur, sandalwood, and sweet spice.

• Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru (Grand Maupertuis): Sourced from the prized upper section of the Clos de Vougeot slope directly beneath Grands-Échezeaux. Offers monumental power, dark cherry, forest floor, graphite, and multi-decade aging potential.

• Chambolle-Musigny & Vosne-Romanée Village: Quintessential village-level expressions showcasing bright red berry fruit, crushed rose petals, and refined, supple tannins.

• Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits: Sourced from elevated vineyards above Vosne-Romanée. Known as one of the best value-for-money regional Burgundies available, delivering fresh acidity, juicy red cherry, and early-drinking charm.

Epicurean Food Pairings
