RATINGS

93Wine Spectator

Graphite, black cherry, blackberry and baking spices are the hallmarks of this opulent red, which is backed by a spine of dusty tannins that leave a tactile feel on the long finish.

92John Gilman

The bouquet is deep, precise and classic in profile, wafting from the glass in a mix of cassis, dark berries, grilled venison, coffee bean, dark soil tones, woodsmoke and just a touch of new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with broad shoulders, fine focus and grip, good soil signature and a long, chewy and ripely tannic finish. Good juice.

90-92Vinous / IWC

The harmonious palate is medium-bodied with fleshy red berry fruit and a touch of white pepper and clove, dovetailing into a piquant, lively finish.

16.5+ Jancis Robinson

Lifted, lively red fruits – smells so vibrant, the fruit sweet-smelling...lots of rich fruit and rounded tannins... The fruit depth is impressive.

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.”

TYPE

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