The finest estate in Saint-Romain, Domaine Alain Gras has enjoyed remarkable success over the decades. This iconic estate, which helped establish the appellation among the finest Michelin-starred restaurants, passionately defends the wines of the Côte de Beaune, with additional vineyards in Meursault, Auxey-Duresses, and Pommard.

Today, the future is in the capable hands of Arthur Gras, the son of the estate, and there’s no doubt he will continue to craft wines that are pure, precisely sculpted, and immediately delightful—wines that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the greatest terroirs of the Côte de Beaune.
