2022 1ER CRU 'CLOS DE REAS' MONOPOLE 750 ml

Discover the 2022 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru 'Clos des Réas' Monopole from Domaine Michel Gros, a rare gem hailing from the heart of Burgundy, France. This exclusive vineyard, held solely by the Gros family since 1860, stands as the crown jewel of their esteemed estate in Vosne-Romanée. Founded in 1830, the domaine has passed through seven generations, each tending the land with a deep commitment to letting the soil's voice shine through every bottle.

Crafted entirely from Pinot Noir, this red wine catches the eye with its vibrant ruby color. Lift a glass, and a fragrant wave of floral notes greets you, laced with the fresh tang of redcurrant, cranberry, and strawberry. It unfolds on the tongue as a medium-bodied delight, where fine tannins weave seamlessly into layers of subtle flavors. The energy builds dynamically, carrying through to a lively close. Though it carries a touch of firmness now, its evolution hints at even greater rewards ahead.

Critics have taken note: Vinous awards it 92-94 points, while Burghound's Allen Meadows scores it 91-93, affirming its place among Burgundy's elite. Picture savoring it alongside a perfectly seared duck breast, its richness mirroring the wine's depth, or letting it elevate a classic coq au vin where savory notes dance in harmony. Even a creamy mushroom risotto finds its ideal companion here, as the wine's nuances draw out the earth's own flavors.
