MEET THE GROWER Domaine Henri Gouges NUITS ST. GEORGES

BURGUNDY CÔTEDENUITS

Another year and another excellent vintage at DomaineGouges, with plentiful volume and evermore graceful tannins. Gregory grows in stature, nuance and understanding each year. The gravity-fedwinery is excelling in refining the tannin across the cuvées, reducing the extractionprocess. Gregory has also begun to decrease the age of his used barrels to create amore uniformageing process across his cuveés prior to blending. Gouges 1er Crus are known for their ageability. I was lucky enought to taste a 1998 not long ago - it was still flying. It’s excellent to see this Domaine flourish and develop under Gregory’s astute guidance. The Gouges name is well-respected andwe are sure it will keep on growing in stature.

NUITS ST. GEORGES DOMAINE HENRI GOUGES 2017 DRINK2020-2024 6x75 £225

Denser, more structured nose. While it is unusual to use stems in the Gouges wines, they used 50%whole clusters with this special one-off cuvée. Wonderful linear structure and gorgeous generous fruit. Excellent Village wine. Persistent finish.

6x75 £335

The wine is graceful and there’s a prominent attack and freshness. More lift and energy in the wine – altogether more linear – than the Clos des Porrets. Very elegant and still tannins that are fine grained. Bright and lifted finish.
