Domaine Gros Frere et Soeur Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits 2023

The Domaine Gros Frere et Soeur Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits 2023 is a sophisticated expression of Pinot Noir from one of the most prestigious families in the Cote d'Or. This vintage benefits from the domain's meticulous vineyard management and the unique elevation of the Hautes Cotes region. The higher altitude of these parcels allows the grapes to ripen slowly, resulting in a wine that possesses both aromatic intensity and a bracing, structural freshness.
On the nose, the wine opens with an inviting bouquet of red currants, raspberries, and crushed violets, complemented by subtle earthy undertones characteristic of the region's limestone soils. The palate is medium bodied and remarkably graceful. It features a core of succulent red fruit supported by fine grained tannins that provide a velvety mouthfeel. The 2023 vintage is noted for its approachability and balance, offering a harmonious transition from the fruity attack to a long, clean finish marked by a hint of spice. This wine serves as a brilliant introduction to the Gros family style, delivering the elegance and complexity associated with top tier Burgundy at a more accessible level.
