Alain Gras is one of the more reliable producers in the tiny village of St. Romain. His vines average 40 years of age, and he hand-harvests, uses about 20% stems, and ages in oak barrels, with less than 25% new oak to keep the wine more open and show off the minerality and delicacy that is the hallmark of St. Romain. This is a terrific value in White Burgundy. (Keith Wollenberg, K&L Burgundy Buyer) As Clive Coates writes: "Alain Gras is the leading grower in Saint-Romain. The view from his courtyard, up in Saint-Romain-le-Haut, perched above a 100-foot cliff, is breathtaking. Alain Gras'wines are pure, elegant and full of fruit. " About the 2006, Wine Spectator writes: "Peach and melon notes show the ripe side of this white. It ends with a grapefruit peel accent and modest length" (Wine Spectator)
