Domaine Michel Gros 2014 Release

There are a handful of you that have been showing interest in Burgundy for the last year so I've been hustling my ass to get you some serious juice that you can lay down for a few years but also enjoy today.

Dating back to the early 1800s and more recently run by Jean Gros until his retirement in the early 1990s, the Gros Dynasty is now operated by the family’s sixth generation and divided into four estates known as Domaine Michel Gros, Domaine Gros Frére et Soeur, Domaine A.F. Gros and Domaine Anne Gros.

In 1975, Michel Gros worked his first vintage on the family estate alongside his father. Today, he is the owner and grower of Clos des Réas (Monopole) and Clos de Vougeot, which he inherited from his father, and additionally purchased properties in Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-St-Georges Les Chaliots, Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis. In 1997, the Écard family entrusted Michel to run their estate located in Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-St-Georges. In total, Domaine Michel Gros represents approximately 18 ha. Known for combining tradition with innovation, Michel does not hold back when experimenting with techniques that could potentially lead to improvement in both the vineyard and the cellar.

Michel’s hard work and talent has been rewarded with numerous accolades, including the title of "Best Red Wine Maker" and "Best Pinot Noir" at the International Wine Challenge in London, two years in a row!

Check these out!!

Michel Gros 2014 Nuits St Georges - Sarah Marsh, Winter 2015, The Burgundy Briefing N°17. The cuvée of parcels on the Vosne side. A blend of parcels between Vosne and Nuits Saint Georges. It is supple and smooth. A very Vosne style NSG. Soft and juicy dark fruit. Splashing and easy, but also very fresh. It is appetising and bright. A little rounded in the mid palate. The tannins are present and correct, supportive and twangy and fresh. Score 16. $60 per 750ml

Michel Gros 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru - Gérard Basset & Stephen Brook, February 2016, DECANTER 93 points. Black cherry nose with sweet spices, a velvety texture and a plummy finish. Drink 2018-2028. $110 per 750ml

Michel Gros 2014 Chambolle-Musigny - Sarah Marsh, Winter 2015, The Burgundy Briefing N°17. This is somewhat sumptuous on the attack..very juicy and and aromatic at first and then it tightens and the core is racy...tight and zesty and mineral and the tannins show a little more... there is a finesse and energy at the end. (this has just finished the MLF). Score 16.25. $80 per 750ml

Michel Gros 2014 Vosne Romanee 1er Cru “Aux Brulees” - Gérard Basset & Stephen Brook, February 2016, DECANTER 95 points. Lovely sweet blackberry fruit, cured meat notes, a velvety texture and savoury finish. A wine of great charm that illustrates well how this estate punches above its weight. Drink 2018-2028. $120 per 750ml

Michel Gros 2014 Fontaine St Martin Blanc Monopole - Gérard Basset & Stephen Brook, February 2016, DECANTER 90 points. Superb wine, showing a lovely mix of dried and orchard fruit, touches of spices, a lively texture and mineral finish. Drink 2016-2020. $36 per 750ml

Michel Gros 2014 Hauts Cotes de Nuits - Sarah Marsh, Winter 2015, The Burgundy Briefing N° 17. Fresh and red and a touch of black fruit. High toned. Soft and fruity; plenty of red fruits, juicy and supple and energetic. Very nice forward fruity wine with sappy acidity at the end. $30 per 750ml

Michel Gros 2014 Nuits St Georges “Les Chaliots” - Sarah Marsh, Winter 2015, The Burgundy Briefing N°17. The top soil is 1m deep - agile and the flint stones. This is deeper and richer and ‘stronger’ than the Vosne side NSG. It is quite compact and has a smoky dark note...colder in feel and a savoury cool sappiness on the finish..somewhat austere and certainly straight. “This cuvee ages very well” It is edgy. Score 16.25 $60 per 750ml

Michel Gros 2013 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru - Sarah Marsh, Winter 2014, The Burgundy Briefing N° 16. The vines are now 26 years old, 100% new oak and three barrels. This is a large bold wine; but is draped in silky tannins; (although the new oak is very evident at the moment). Some muscle, but it is smooth. The fruit is very fresh, juicy even - there is the exuberance of young vines here - and the freshness is clear; especially on the long and vigorous finish. Score 19.2 $178 per 750ml

Michel Gros 2014 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru - Gérard Basset & Stephen Brook, February 2016, DECANTER 94 points. Lovely nose of raspberry, black fruit and gamey nuances with a velvety texture and savoury finish. Drink 2018-2028. $170 per 750m

Michel Gros 2014 Vosne Romanee “Clos de Reas” Monopole 1er Cru - Gérard Basset & Stephen Brook, February 2016, DECANTER 93 points. Ripe cherry and blackberry with notes of cured meat spices on a silky texture and savoury finish. A wine that will give enormous pleasure. Drink 2016-2028. $130 per 750ml

As you can see...we are not screwing around here. These wines are only offered to wine merchants who are very passionate about Burgundy wines. I work pretty closely with the importers in order to get the best wines we can in the area. The wines are in the warehouse and I can get them pretty much the next day. Let me know.
