By all accounts Michel Gros is a modest man, despite being the 6th-generation vigneron of one of Vosne-Romanee's finest families, and we adore his entry-level wines. This Hautes Cotes de Nuits Rouge comes from the higher, cooler ground behind the famous slope, giving fresh, mineral Pinot Noir with the family's signature elegant translucence. The 2012 was a small, quality vintage, and at over a decade old this is drinking in a mature, gentle window now. A smart, low-key way into the Gros style. Drink up over the next year or two.

"The 2012 Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits Rouge benefitted from the clement late weather and was picked between the 5 and 10 October. It sports a healthy deep ruby color. The nose is fragrant and nicely poised with cranberry and blackcurrant aromas that seem quite intense at this stage. The palate is a little tough on the entry. This is underpinned by bold and quite firm tannins, the fruit pushed down into second place after the structure on the finish, but that will surface with time. It is a question of whether consumers will afford this 18-24 months bottle age – hopefully they will." —Neal Martin

More about Michel Gros

Six generations of Vosne-Romanée skill distilled into entry-level magic. Michel Gros' village wines deliver the freshness and minerality that make you fall in love with Burgundy before spending serious money. The domaine has held the monopoly on Clos des Réas since 1860—one of Burgundy's great-estate benchmarks—but it's the approachable bottlings that let everyone in on the secret: Gros knows how to make Pinot sing.
