The 2020 growing season in the Côte de Nuits was much like 2019: hot, sunny, dry, and very early.New to the lineup this year is the domaine’s new Gevrey-Chambertin cuvée, an addition that completes the list of famous Côte de Nuits towns in the family portfolio. The vines are all from “la Platière,” a village level plot east of the RN-74, and the wine combines Gevrey’s typical burly, masculine terroir with Michel’s signature polish. We found it unusually floral for a Gevrey, and Burghound agreed, finding it “relatively elegant” for the appellation, with a nicely persistent, balanced and complex finale.

His father Michel is never far away with ready counsel and advice, but this is Pierre’s ship now, and he’s steering it beautifully. Like many of his peer group Pierre has moved the domaine toward organics, and his wines are clean and pure – they sport the same polish as his fathers’ with perhaps a bit more concentration of fruit and slightly longer finishes.The Clos Vougeot comes from a small plot in the Grand Maupertuis sector, considered the best part of that large Grand Cru vineyard. The vines produce rich, deeply colored wine that requires a few years to knit together. In 2023 it shows ripe dark fruit, toasty oak, mineral and earthy notes, with long persistence on the palate.

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 2022 Clos Vougeot a big wine, according to Neal Martin: “one of the fleshiest, more corpulent Clos de Vougeot wines that I met.” Burghound, too, found “richer, more powerful and more complex broad-shouldered flavors.” Martin also praised its “refined bouquet, understated at first, opening with black cherries and red plum scents, a touch of rose bush in the background.” This wine ages beautifully, turning regal and poised as it reaches past a decade.

It shows a density and structure more like a premier cru than a village wine, with ripe black currant fruit and a refined palate that persists in a long and lovely finish. Less (-) Free US Shipping |
