"The rest of the Monopole vineyard is planted with Pinot Noir which was first produced in 2014. Typically more intense, dark and tough to coax out at this tender age, there is lovely balance of freshness and concentration of fruit. This is dense and dark fruited with tightly knit tannins which will no doubt soften with a bit of time. Epitomises the style of the vintage." Our note The Gros family have been a dominant presence in Vosne-Romanée since 1830 and Michel, alongside sisters Anne and Anne-Francoise and brother Bernard, all of whom have eponymous domaines, represents the sixth generation.
