2006 Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits-Saint-Georges
FRANCE / BURGUNDY / NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES
International Wine Cellar | Rating: 88
($60) Bright, deep red. Smoky, reduced nose; needs a racking. Sweet, juicy flavors of redcurrant and leather lifted by spice. No shortage of energy here.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2008Jancis Robinson | Rating: 16
Sweet and animal nose. Pretty dry and uncompromising with a fair charge of tannins. Still pretty cussed. If this were a man, he wouldn't bid you good day. But it's certainly solid and good for people who like their Burgundies four square.Author: Jancis Robinson

Very easy drinking Burgundy. Loads of red fruit, in balance acids and tannic structure. Drink now.Author: Mister45
Founded by Henri Gouges, this domaine was subsequently developed by his two sons, Michel and Marcel. For the last few years, Pierre and Christian, the grandsons, have carried on the traditions of the estate. Pierre has a passionate interest in the care of the vines and Christian oversees winemaking. Uncompromising about quality and respectful of the typicity of the different vintages, he bottles after 18 months aging in oak-barrels, using a maximum of 20% new oak in the final blending.
