This name derives from the word "Chaille" which means small stones. This "climat" in the southern part of Nuits is planted on an alluvial cone where the soil is high in clay, poor in limestone and contains small stones made of reddish flint, rich in silica. This very special type of soil encouraged them to make a separate cuvee which became characterized by abundant minerality, very pure fruit expression, solid acidity and a powerful body. This is a very ageable wine.

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.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

"A top note of green tea is present on the cool and ultra-fresh nose of just sliced plum, red berries and just enough wood influence to merit mentioning. There is slightly more volume to the richer flavors that are slightly more rustic on the more complex and slightly longer and firmer finale."
