Henri Gouges, Nuits Saint Georges Rouge Vintage:2015

Henri Gouges, Nuits Saint Georges Rouge Vintage:2015(from Les Plateaux, Belle Croix, Les Fleurires, Les Crots and Les Chaillots). A more deeply pitched and markedly earthier nose reveals notes of both red and dark currant along with a hint of the sauvage. The rich, velvety and caressing medium weight flavors are almost easy going and delicate on the delicious and lightly structured finale. This delicious effort is definitely not a classic Nuits but its attractive all the same.

A distinctly floral nose is cool and pure with notes of violet

it is necessary to keep the fresh fruit aromas

Very promising

dry and stylish finale that is firm enough to repay up to a decade of keeping

even by the elevated standards of Corton-Charlemagne

Grivot is one of few domaines where their Ech is easily a match for their Clos de Vougeot in terms of size

Like several wines in the range there is a subtle whiff of the exotic in the form of mandarin orange to the acacia blossom

Drink 2016-2035

Drink now through 2020

on previous form

The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and a fine bead of acidity

herbal tea and floral elements to shine
