Gros Frère et Soeur家族是布爾岡最古老的葡萄農之一，可以追溯到1800年代初。人稱「金盃」，酒莊坐擁大約20公頃的葡萄園，包括最頂級的特級園(Grand crus)：Richebourg、Echezeaux、Grands Echezeaux及Clos Vougeot。
6個一級的葡萄園(Premiers crus)：一個位於Nuits-Saint-Georges的1er cru les Cras, 以及 5個 Vosne-Romanée 1er cru (aux Brûlées, Chaumes, Petits Monts, aux Reignots, Suchots)。
入門級的村酒亦有四個：一個位於 Nuits-Saint-Georges 村，另外3個位於 Vosne-Romanée 村。
葡萄園的種植遵循 lutte raisonnée原則。與傳統相比，他們使用化學品的頻率和強度都較低。此外，他們一貫奉行低產量，以達至果香純粹、濃郁集中的葡萄酒。
Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Rouge - 這款入門級村酒來自Vosne-Romanée 北部的葡萄園 Concoeur et Corboin。這兒的Pinot Noir由莊主 Bernard Gros種植，佔地約9公頃。

品酒筆記：
(Allen Meadows' rating: 87 pts)
稍微優雅和涼爽的香氣，充滿黑加侖子、紫羅蘭和一絲茉莉花茶的幽香。酒體中等，美味而精緻。味道平衡，餘韻中帶有清新的鹹感，值得先窖藏數年。傑出！
Gros Frère et Soeur is one of the oldest families of wine growers in Burgundy, that go back to the early 1800s. Today, the estate covers about 20 hectares of vines, including some of the top vineyards: the Grands Crus ( Richebourg, Echezeaux, Grands Echezeaux and Clos Vougeot ).
There are 6 Premiers crus appellations: Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru les Cras, 5 Vosne-Romanée 1er cru (aux Brûlées, Chaumes, Petits Monts, aux Reignots, Suchots);
3 Vosne-Romanée Village and 1 Nuits-Saint-Georges Village.
The vineyards are farmed according to lutte raisonnée (the reasoned struggle)principles. They use chemicals less often and less aggressively than conventional growers. Also, they believe that low yields are the key to get concentrated wines with pure fruity characters.
Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Rouge - This cuvée comes from the hameau of Concoeur et Corboin, located north of Vosne-Romanée. The Pinot Noirs here were planted by Bernard and cover close to 9 hectares of vines.

Tasting Notes:
(Allen Meadows' rating: 87 pts)
Slightly more elegant and cooler aromas are comprised by notes of red currant, violet and a hint of jasmine tea. The delicious and nicely delineated middleweight flavors exude a refreshing salinity on the balanced and lingering finish. This too is worth considering provided you intend to cellar if for a few years first.
Outstanding!
