RATINGS

92Wine Spectator

Needs air to reveal the black cherry, violet, mineral and spice notes. Rich and tannic, yet balanced overall and long on the finish. 256 cases imported.

91-93The Wine Advocate

Freshly cut flowers, minerals, graphite and black cherries are woven into a textured fabric of notable class.

91-93Stephen Tanzer

Redcurrant, raspberry, crushed stone and smoky minerality on the rather serious nose.

90-92Burghound.com

...a lovely inner mouth perfume to the precise, intense and vibrant middle weight plus flavors that possess good volume. There is admirable persistence on the quite firm finish that is at once pure and actually rather refined...

PRODUCER

Henri Gouges

Henri Gouges is a 45-acre estate in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. It was founded in the early 20th century by Henri Gouges and is today owned and operated by his grandsons, Pierre and Christian. The domaine has Premier Cru parcels in Nuits-Saints-Georges, including its monopole Clos-des-Porrets-Nuits-Saint-Georges. It also makes a limited production white Premier Cru which Clive Coates says “bears no resemblance to Chardonnay. It is delicious.” Henri Gouges was a pioneer in many ways, including his practice of bottling and selling his winey directly to the public starting in the 1920s. Coates calls the domaine’s winemaking “magnificent.”

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-St.-Georges, Les Porrets

Les Porrets is an 18-acre Premier Cru vineyard in Nuits-Saints-Georges, in Burgundy’s Cote de Nuits. It is in the central part of of the appellation. Because there are no Grand Cru vineyards in Nuits-Saints-Georges, the appellation’s considerable reputation rests on its excellent Premier Crus. At an elevation of 250-270 meters, the vineyard has an ideal elevation, and the soil contains large amounts of stone, gravel and limestone.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
