Henri Gouges Nuits St. Georges "Les Saint Georges" 2017
burgundy,
france
$395
From 1.1 ha parcel of 55+ year old vines. There is just enough wood to merit mentioning framing the aroma of plum liqueur, black raspberry, warm earth and a touch of the sauvage. There is excellent intensity to the overtly powerful and more mineral-driven medium weight flavors that culminate in a beautifully long and complex if markedly austere finish. This is even a bit firmer that the Vaucrains and as collectors of the Gouges wines know well this will not make for specially accessible early drinking.
