Alain Gras

Burgundy Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Saint-Romain and Auxey-Duresses.

Alain Gras produces wines from Burgundy's Saint-Romain and Auxey-Duresses appellations, working with the region's classical varieties: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Saint-Romain 'Les Cinq Climats' Blanc, a Chardonnay, demonstrates the mineral precision and structure characteristic of white Burgundy, while the Saint-Romain Rouge and Très Vieilles Vignes Auxey-Duresses showcase Pinot Noir's silky texture and subtle complexity. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Decanter, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast. Saint-Romain and Auxey-Duresses sit in the Côte de Beaune, where cool continental conditions and limestone-rich soils favor elegant, age-worthy expressions of both varieties. The focus on old-vine Pinot Noir in the Auxey-Duresses bottling reflects a commitment to depth and concentration from mature plantings.
