This is a lighter expression of Pinot Noir from Burgundy.
The wine comes from the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, a higher elevation area above the main Côte de Nuits. The altitude brings cooler conditions, which help preserve acidity and keep the wine more direct. Domaine Michel Gros is based in Vosne Romanée and is part of a long-established Burgundian family.
In the glass, it shows red fruit such as cherry and raspberry, with a subtle floral note. The oak is used carefully and supports the fruit without adding weight. The texture stays smooth, with a light to medium body.
This is a wine that remains open rather than structured.
On the table, it moves easily. It works with cheese, lighter plates, and dishes that do not need weight from the wine. Compared to fuller reds, it keeps the palate fresh and does not dominate the food.
At CARTA, it often becomes a natural starting point for red wine.
