Description

Alain Gras has been working passionately since 1979 with a great respect for the land. Despite its young age, his domaine has quickly established itself as the standard-bearer for the village of Saint-Romain. It now extends over 30 acres, primarily located in Saint-Romain, Meursault, and Auxey-Duresses. Vinified with care and using traditional methods, the domaine's wines exemplify the character of this terroir, which Alain Gras sums up in three words: fresh, fruity, and elegant. Alain remains one of the most fervent supporters of the wines of Saint-Romain and recently has been joined by his son, Arthur, in his quest to make his wines a reference point for all of Burgundy. The vineyards are 40 years old on clay and limestone soil. Harvest is 100% by hand with a very selective process for the grapes and is 100% green harvested. The grapes are 100% de-stemmed with fermentation taking place on the skins for 12 days with daily pump over and treading. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 12 months, 15% of which is new oak.
