Michel Gros 1999 Clos des Reas Pinot Noir (Vosne-Romanée)
- Online Exclusive
- $65
This lovely wine, a Monopole, is already showing complex, forward fruit with flavors of plum, cherry and cranberry. Soft and fulsome, it shows a light hand with the oak, allowing nuances of tobacco and leather to emerge. Good weight and texture, it seems bound for early glory.

Michel Gros 2004 Grand Maupertuis Pinot Noir (Clos Vougeot)
- $135
The Clos de Vougeot wines of the Gros family holdings, divided between the different branches of the family, often carry the name of the parcel. This, from Grand Maupertuis, at the top end of the vineyard, is a structured but rich wine, with some red jelly flavors and sweetness. The tannins are there, but relatively subdued.

Michel Gros 2004 Clos des Réas Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Vosne-Romanée)
- $100
This clos, with its impressive stone gateway, is entirely owned by Michel Gros, and in a sense is his flagship, even though it is not a premier cru. This 2004 is a powerful statement, a richly textured wine layered with spice and tannins, plus a minty, herbal character. Acidity hovers around the young, fresh, red fruits, lingering in the mouth for many minutes.

Michel Gros 2004 En la Rue de Vergy Pinot Noir (Morey-Saint-Denis)
- $56
Although not a premier cru, this comes from a single vineyard which lies, as the name indicates, along the road to Vergy, well placed between the grands crus of Clos de Tart and Clos des Lambrays. It is a richly constructed wine, with powerful but fresh raspberry and red cherry skin flavors spiced with new wood. The tannins are here, but the fruit is more prominent.

Michel Gros 1999 Aux Brulees Pinot Noir (Vosne-Romanée)
- Online Exclusive
- $65
Another premier cru from Michel Gros, this one not as elegant and fruity as the Réas. Instead it goes for more ripeness, more tannic weight, and a lot more roasted scents from the barrels. Big, rawboned but undeniably appealing, it has a lot of rough-hewn flavor, dominated by toast, tannin and tobacco.

Michel Gros 2004 Aux Brûlées Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Vosne-Romanée)
- $100
A ripe, fruity wine, full of red fruit and spice flavors. There’s the proper finesse of Vosne-Romanée here, a sense of poise that goes well with the toast, the acidity and the intensely juicy richness on the finish.

Michel Gros 2004 Chardonnay (Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits)
- $28
Light, fresh and delicate, this is an excellently balanced wine that punches above its station in terms of appellation. There are flavors of lemon zest, new wood and delicate vanilla and walnut tastes. It’s a great, ready-to-drink Chardonnay.

Michel Gros 2004 Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Nuits-St.-Georges)
- $100
A blend from different premier cru vineyards, this is a freshly perfumed wine, with firm new wood and fruit tannins, but also some good ripe fruits. Give it a couple of years, and it will be well in balance, with its good juicy aftertaste.
