The Domaine Alain Gras, the crowning jewel of Saint-Romain, has been thriving insolently through the decades. This flagship estate, which has elevated the appellation's presence on the menus of the finest Michelin-starred restaurants, passionately and fervently champions the wines of the Côte de Beaune, also owning vineyards in Meursault, Auxey-Duresses, and Pommard.

Today, the legacy is confidently carried on by Arthur Gras, the son of the house. Without a doubt, he will continue to produce straightforward, impeccably crafted, and immediately delightful wines, capable of standing toe-to-toe with the greatest terroirs of the Côte de Beaune.
