Domaine Michel Gros 2022 Hautes Cotes de Nuits Rouge

“Cask sample. Delicate red fruit on the palate. Precise, not particularly deep or concentrated but a clean, fresh and elegant Bourgogne Rouge.” Jancis Robinson 15.5

Arcenant, a small village in the middle of the Meuzin valley, 7 km west of Nuits-Saint-Georges. It is situated on a south-east exposed slope at an altitude reaching 360m to 420m (it is almost 100m higher than the Côte vineyard!). 

VINIFICATION: This difference in altitude imposes a later harvest than on the Côte (almost 8 days later). The wine is aged 18 months in French oak barrels (20 to 30% new depending on the vintage).
