Localisation :
The Hautes-Côtes vineyard was destroyed by Phylloxera between 1885 and 1900, as the rest of the French vineyard. Contrary to the Côtes de Nuits vineyard which has been replanted very quickly, we had to wait for the beginning of the seventies to see the revival of this appellation, of which my father, Jean GROS, was one of the first initiators.
Our vineyard is located at Arcenant, a small village in the middle of the Meuzin valley, 7 km west of Nuits-Saint-Georges. It is situated on a south-east exposed slope at an altitude reaching 360m to 420m (it is almost 100m higher than the Côte vineyard). This difference in altitude imposes a later harvest than on the Côte (almost 8 days later).
The rows are planted at a 2,60m distance, and the trellising is 1,80m high. This kind of training allows a planting that follows the contour lines, thus creating a small terrace at every row. The space between rows is turfed. The pruning system is the bilateral cordon pruning.
The soil and subsoil have 3 geological strata which are exactly the same as those we can find 100m lower in altitude in the Côte de Beaune in the vicinity of Aloxe-Corton.
This explains the strength and the masculine character characterizing these wines, as well as their excellent ageing qualities.

The term "dynasty" is often used when discussing the Gros Family because of the enormous impact they've had on the recent history of winemaking in Burgundy. The Domaine Gros dates to the early 1800's, but after Jean Gros retired in the early 1990's it was split into 4 estates.

Jean's son Michel inherited the entirety of the Monopole 1er Cru vineyard "Clos Reas" and a few other parcels and has been steadily acquiring other vineyards. Today he farms around 18 hectares in Vosne-Romanée and the surrounding villages.

Michel is both an innovator and a sharp student of tradition. He isn't afraid to experiment a little in the cellar but his focus is always on producing wines of terroir and history. His style emphasizes rich fruit and elegance in balance with the power and longevity of Vosne and Nuits-St-Georges.

With 40 years of experience under his belt now Michel Gros has an excellent grasp of how to best transfer his terroir into the glass.
