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

Luminous ruby with violet tinges, the 2022 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Rouge Fontaine Saint Martin from Michel Gros opens with a vibrant bouquet of wild strawberry, red cherry, rose petal, and crushed herbs, lifted by hints of white pepper and stony earth. Sourced from the domaine’s monopole vineyard situated on a high-altitude limestone plateau above Vosne-Romanée, the wine reflects the energy and finesse of its cool-climate terroir. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts precedes ageing in French oak barrels—approximately 30% new—bringing subtle spice and structural polish. The palate is lively and pure, with bright red fruit, floral lift, and fine-grained tannins carried by refreshing acidity. A mineral backbone adds focus and persistence, culminating in a long, elegant finish marked by savoury spice and red berry clarity.
