Domaine Michel Gros – Clos des Réas 2016, Monopole – Vosne Romanée, 1er Cru

The nose is elegant, racy and offers a fine intensity as well as a racy minerality. It reveals notes of wild red berries and wild blackberry associated with small notes of dry rose, lilac, fine touches of Timut pepper as well as discreet hints of chocolate and toasted. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, well-built, beautifully gourmande and offers fat, a small unctuosity and very finely tight. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy raspberry, juicy/fleshy red berries and small notes of violet, lilac associated with small touches of fleshy blackberry, juicy blueberry, liquorice, toasted/caramelization, mild tobacco as well as discreet hints of chocolate, vanilla and an imperceptible hint of nutmeg. Tannins are well-built and elegant. Good length.
