Gros Frère et Sœur is a renowned Burgundy domaine with deep family roots in the Côte d'Or, known for crafting wines that exhibit both power and finesse. Their commitment to traditional Burgundian practices and attention to terroir-driven characteristics make their wines highly respected.
- WINEMAKER: Bernard Gros
- FARMING: Practicing sustainable viticulture, with a focus on preserving soil health and biodiversity
- VARIETY: 100% Pinot Noir
- TERROIR: The Hautes Côtes de Nuits is located just west of the famous Côte de Nuits. The vineyards are situated on higher altitudes, leading to cooler temperatures that maintain acidity and freshness in the wines. The soils are a mix of limestone and clay, contributing to minerality and structure.
- VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested grapes, fermented using native yeasts. Traditional open-top fermentation with gentle punch-downs for optimal extraction.
- AGING: Aged for 12 months in a combination of used and new French oak barrels to balance fruit expression and subtle oak influence.
- TASTING NOTES: Vibrant red fruit aromas of raspberry and cherry, with undertones of earthy forest floor and hints of spice. The palate is bright with lively acidity, soft tannins, and a clean, mineral-driven finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Perfect with roasted duck, mushroom risotto, and classic coq au vin.
- SCORES / ACCOLADES:
- Decanter: 92/100 for its classic structure and elegant fruit profile.
