Alain Gras Saint-Romain Rouge 2022

Alain Gras is the undisputed ambassador of Saint-Romain, a village tucked into a steep, limestone-rich valley where the air is cool and the wines are remarkably fresh.

The 2022 vintage was a sun-drenched gift to Burgundy, providing a ripeness that beautifully balances the naturally high acidity of this terroir. This Pinot Noir is a study in purity: think bright, crunchy red cherries and wild strawberries, layered with a hint of violet and that signature stony minerality that comes from vines perched on these rocky slopes. It’s elegant and light on its feet, yet it possesses a surprising depth of fruit that makes it feel much more substantial than its “village” status might suggest.

Alain Gras uses oak with an incredibly light touch—just enough to give the wine a supple roundness without ever masking the fruit. This is a bottle for those who love their Burgundy vibrant, soulful, and ready to enjoy right now.
