Michel Gros Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits Blanc Fontaine St Martin 2022 (750ml)

Pale gold with green reflections, the 2022 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Blanc Fontaine Saint Martin from Michel Gros reveals a delicate, mineral-driven nose of white peach, lemon zest, acacia blossom, and wet stone, with subtle hints of almond and fresh pastry. Sourced from a monopole vineyard at higher altitude near Vosne-Romanée, the Chardonnay is grown on limestone-rich soils that lend the wine its tension and clarity. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels—approximately 30% new—the wine undergoes full malolactic conversion and rests on fine lees to build texture and aromatic complexity. The palate is precise and lifted, offering citrus, green apple, and a touch of hazelnut over a taut, chalky structure. Acidity is bright and incisive, carrying through to a long, elegant finish marked by saline minerality and refined oak spice.
