Michel Gros is one of Vosne-Romanée's most reliable names, and his Hautes Côtes de Nuits is the kind of wine that reminds you Burgundy doesn't have to cost a fortune to be genuinely good. The Fontaine Saint Martin vineyard sits in the hills above the Côte de Nuits proper, where the altitude keeps things fresh and the Pinot Noir retains the sort of bright, precise character that makes you reach for a second glass before you've finished thinking about the first. The 2022 vintage brought generous warmth to Burgundy, and you can feel it here — there's a plushness to the fruit that softens the wine's naturally lithe frame.
