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.

In the glass, the 2017 Auxey-Duresses illuminates a yellow-gold hue with hints of straw at the rim, with a nose absolutely bursting with fruits and florals: yellow apple, lime blossom, meyer lemon, honeysuckle, white flowers, and wildflower honey all come into the picture.
