The "Clos des Réas" is located on the hillock that overhangs the small Réas valley. The geological stratum of the subsoil is a "Salmon conglomerate" on the Oligocene strata, with, at this place, a large quantity of limestone blocks alternated with marls. This soil profile, together with the slope, ensures excellent drainage.
The marls give wine the silky character of tannins, the elegance of perfumes and the slight acidity that make it easy to taste from its youngest age. However, this impression of easiness is misleading: thanks to the almost perfect balance of this wine, it can age 10 to 15 years while preserving its fruity expression and its freshness.
Vinous Review:
he 2021 Vosne-Romanée Clos des Réas 1er Cru, the monopole belonging to Michel Gros, has a fragrant bouquet with sensual wild strawberry and raspberry notes, orange blossom and crushed rock. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, lovely balance, very stylish with a lot of panache towards the finish. This might be one of the most nuanced and desirable Clos des Réas that I have encountered from this address. Bravo
