Gros Nuits-Saint-Georges 2023

Pierre Gros has now produced more excellent wine than can be chalked up to beginner’s luck. 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 Nuits-Saint-Georges cuvée comes from parcels on the northern side of the village adjoining Vosne-Romanée. Hints of the famous Vosne spice show up in the nose, and the impression is of elegance more than meatiness.
