The 2022 Paul Gros Bourgogne La Croix d'Argent Bourgogne Rouge marks the exciting debut of Paul Gros's independent winemaking project, utilizing vineyards inherited within his esteemed family. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy is widely regarded as excellent, despite early challenges with icy lows in April that required careful vineyard management. Paul's winemaking approach incorporates a significant proportion of whole clusters and extended élevage, resulting in wines that lean towards a darker fruit profile with enhanced depth, texture, and savory complexity, all while maintaining freshness and definition. The 2022 'La Croix d'Argent' opens with an inviting aromatic profile of fresh red cherry, raspberry, and crushed strawberry, layered with subtle hints of sweet spice and a touch of earth. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity, fine, silky tannins, and a perfumed, savory, persistent finish. 【First vintage of Paul Gros's independent project from inherited family vineyards】. 🍴 This food-friendly red Burgundy is a versatile choice, pairing well with chicken and turkey dishes.
