Anne Gros Bourgogne Rouge Hautes Cotes de Nuits '22

From high-elevation vineyards above Vosne-Romanée, this Pinot Noir presents a pale ruby core. The nose enchants with delicate aromas of red currant, rosewater, and damp forest floor. The palate delivers Burgundian transparency - flavors of cherry, blood orange, and crushed chalk unfold with silky tannins and vibrant acidity (6.7 g/L TA) that earned 91-93 point accolades. Aged 12 months in neutral oak, this 12.5% alcohol wine finishes with a stony persistence. Serve slightly chilled with roasted salmon or mushroom risotto - the 2022 vintage shows how overperforming "simple" Burgundies can be.
