Gros Hautes-Côtes de Nuits 2023

Pierre Gros (Michel’s son) now steers this iconic estate in Vosne-Romanée, after his father ran it for 45 years. Neal Martin writes “I detect a change in tack rather than charting a totally different course.” Like many of his peer group Pierre has moved the domaine toward organics, and if his first few vintages at the helm are any indication, the future at Gros may be even brighter than the past.

The regular Hautes Côtes red cuvée is pretty and juicy in 2023. Burghound found “both good volume and vibrancy to the delicious middle-weight flavors, and indeed the wine has pleasant freshness and will begin drinking well before long.”
