Alain Gras Pinot Noir
Small grower Burgundy Pinot Noir, hand picked and stocked in Commack.
The story behind Alain Gras
Burgundy Pinot Noir is the benchmark for the grape: pale to medium ruby in the glass, high acid, fine tannin, and aromas of red cherry, raspberry, rose petal, and forest floor that deepen with bottle age. Village level bottlings from the Cote de Beaune tend to be lighter and more savory than Cote de Nuits wines, with earth and mineral notes under the fruit.
We carry Alain Gras in small quantity at our Commack shop, one to two bottles at a time, so what you see is what we have on the shelf.

Which Alain Gras is right for you?
Both Alain Gras bottles sit under fifty dollars, which is honest money for village Burgundy. The Auxey-Duresses is $49.98 and in stock now. The Saint-Romain is $39.98 and currently sold out, so call the shop at (631) 343-7200 if you want us to watch for the next bottle.
You want village Cote de Beaune Pinot with acid and earth, not oak.
You want a lighter, stonier Burgundy at a lower price point.
