2022 Michel Gros Fontaine St. Martin Monopole White Wine from Hautes Cotes de Nuits

Producer: Domaine Michel Gros
Region: Hautes Côtes de Nuits & Côte de Beaune | Burgundy’s Premier Terroir

Crafted by one of Burgundy’s most esteemed sixth-generation families since 1830, this exceptional Chardonnay embodies generations of winemaking expertise from Domaine Michel Gros. Hailing from a sun-drenched hillside vineyard spanning over three hectares in Hautes Côtes de Nuits and Côte de Beaune—a region celebrated for its mineral-rich soils—the grapes come exclusively from vines over two decades old planted in “Pernand marls.” This unique terroir imparts a striking complexity and vibrant minerality rarely found outside grand cru estates.

Michel Gros’ meticulous attention defines every stage of production—from pruning each vine by hand to bottling—to ensure consistency and elegance year after year. The result is a Chardonnay that balances lush fruitiness with crisp acidity and flinty undertones, offering depth without oak dominance for an authentic expression of its land. Perfectly suited for connoisseurs seeking terroir-driven whites or pairing with delicate seafood dishes like scallop ceviche or creamy Camembert pastries, this wine shines at gatherings where sophistication meets approachability.

Rooted in tradition yet driven by innovation, Domaine Michel Gros stands out among family-owned Burgundy estates for its unwavering commitment to quality. With rigorous organic practices and minimal intervention techniques, every bottle reflects Michel’s philosophy: wines that speak volumes through their finesse rather than flashiness. At 13% alcohol by volume (ABV), it delivers rich texture without heaviness—a rare feat showcasing both power and grace ideal for cellar aging or immediate enjoyment alongside poultry or buttery risotto.
