Burgundy 2017: HENRI GOUGES

Henri Gouges logo.jpg
 
Located in the heart of the Cote d'Or, Domaine Henri Gouges was founded in 1925 and was one of the first domaines to bottle its own wines.
 
Arguably the most famous estate in Nuits Saint Georges for generations,  since 2007 the domaine has been run by Henri's great-grandson Gregory. Classic, structured Nuits in style, with ripe fruit from old low-yielding vines.
 
"After frost devastated much of Gouges’s vines in 2016, at least this year there is not just a full complement of wine but a new addition that comes from their Premier Cru “Les Crots.” Gouges opted to bottle the six barrels separately instead of blending it into the Village Cru, and mighty fine it is, too. Since he dislikes the name of the vineyard, he has christened it “Cuvée Fontaine Jacquinots,” which does sound more attractive"

Selected Highlights
  
2017 NUITS ST GEORGES CUVEE FONTAINE JACQUINOT -  £225 per 6x75cl IB - “because of the abundant quantity, Grégory Gouges decided to bottle this separately and, for the first time at the domaine, used 50% stems... fresh, vibrant palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit and a fine bead of acidity, and the stems are very nicely assimilated into the fabric of the wine. This is a lovely Nuits Saint-Georges" 90-92pts Neal Martin
2017 NUITS ST GEORGES 1er CRu LES ST GEORGES -  £595 per 6x75cl IB - “Seamless in texture, leading to a poised, pure finish. This is easily the best of Gouges’s 2017s. Superb."  92-94pts Neal Martin
