Domaine Michel Gros Nuits St. Georges 2016 (Burgundy, France) - [WS 92] [BH 91]

Notes from the winemaker: Michel Gros worked his first vintage on the family estate alongside his father back in 1975, immediately after graduating from wine school. When his father Jean retired in 1995, the family's large and varied estate was divided between his three children, so today the Gros Dynasty is operated by the family's sixth generation and is divided into four estates known as Domaine Michel Gros, Domaine Gros Frére et Soeur, Domaine A.F. Gros and Domaine Anne Gros. Four parcels contribute to the composition of this cuvée, all located in the Northern part of Nuits Saint Georges, in the direction of Vosne. The assembling of these four parcels gives an elegant wine, with relatively supple tannins for this appellation. It stands as an "intermediary" between Vosne-type wines and Nuits-type wines.Vinification:Traditional vinification. The transfer into barrels takes place a few days after de-vatting for an eighteen-month stay. The average proportion of new oak barrels is 30% t
