Henri Gouges Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Saint Georges 2015

(from a 1.1 ha parcel of 55+ year old vines). Reductive and wood aromas presently dominate the nose. Otherwise here too there is excellent volume to the succulent yet quite serious medium weight plus flavors that exhibit more evident minerality on the energetic, precise and youthfully austere finale. In contrast to the Vaucrains, this excellent effort is likely to require most of my predicted aging curve before it is accessible. (92-94)/2030+ – Allen Meadows’ Burghound, Issue 65
