Region: Burgundy 

Variety: Pinot Noir

What's in the glass: Perched in Arcenant, 7 kilometers west of Nuits-Saint-Georges, this vineyard sits at an altitude of 360-420 meters, nearly 100 meters higher than the Côte d’Or vineyards. This elevation leads to a later harvest, about eight days after the Côte, allowing for slower ripening and enhanced complexity. The soils mirror those of Aloxe-Corton, composed of three geological strata, contributing to the wine's robust structure and aging potential.

Domaine Michel Gros farms 8 hectares in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, with vines averaging 35 years. Vine rows are spaced to allow for terracing and grass cover, with a bilateral cordon pruning system ensuring balanced growth. The 2022 vintage is a blend of two parcels, harvested later and matured for six months in foudres, enhancing complexity and structure.
 
A more elegant and slightly cooler nose reflects lightly spiced fruit that derives more from the red side of the spectrum. Here too there is good vibrancy to the finer medium weight flavors that flash a subtle bead of minerality on the youthfully austere and slightly firmer finale. Worth a look. 86-89 points – Top Value Allen Meadows, The Burghound
