It was in the 1920s that Henri Gouges acquired most of the vines that make up the Domaine located in Nuits-Saint-Georges. His sons, Marcel and Michel, succeeded him in 1967 and enlarged the Domaine to a surface area of 15 ha, as it is still today.
In 1985, with Pierre and his cousin Christian, the third generation took over the farm, joined in 2003 by Pierre's son Gregory. Today, the entire estate is worked according to the principles of organic farming, yields are controlled and the sorting of grapes, harvested by hand, is merciless. With great regularity, the Gouge family produces straight, mineral and deep Nuits-Saint-Georges, possessing superb balances to get through time without any trouble.
"For nearly a century, the Gouges family has been defending the quality of Nuits-Saint-Georges wines in general, and those of the family estate in particular. The current generation, represented by Pierre, Christian and Grégory, is part of this continuity. With a regularity of metronome, they produce frank, straight and deep Nuits-Saint-Georges, which have conquered the taste of demanding amateurs. No breeding artifice or stylistic effect is used. While one must always be patient to capture all the complexity of a great Saint-Georges or Les Pruliers, the wines have, in recent vintages, gained in finesse and silkiness through less rigid, more amiable structures."

Nuits-St-Georges 2017Rating
Rouge grenat aux reflets violets. Superbe bouquet marqué par des notes épicées et fruitées avec une claire tendance de baies rouges, donc beaucoup de fraîcheur. Au palais, le vin est friand, juteux et invitant. Il a du croquant, des tannins parfaitement intégrés et une touche crémeuse qui lui confère de l'élégance. Un vin abouti et prometteur. 2020-2029 92/100

2017, Nuits-St-Georges, Domaine Henri Gouges, Burgund, Frankreich (100% Pinot Noir). Helles Rubin. Offene Nase, ausladend, rotfruchtig, dezente Kräuternote, auch Himbeeren. Im Gaumen schlank, feingliedrig, sehr direkt, mit zarter Frucht, einem leichten bis mittleren Körper und einer sehr feinen Gerbstoffstruktur. Der Wein ist bereits wunderbar zugänglich und zeigt eine schöne Balance, endet mittellang, würzig auf reife Kirschfrucht. Gelungen. Jetzt bis 2027+ geniessen. 17.5 vvPunkte (89/100).Rating - Review by Yves Beck

Nuits-St-Georges 2017Rating
Granatrot mit violetten Reflexen. Hervorragendes Bouquet mit würzigen und fruchtigen Noten und einem klaren Trend in Richtung rote Beeren, daher viel Frische. Am Gaumen ist der Wein schmackhaft, saftig und einladend. Er hat Biss, perfekt eingebundene Tannine und einen cremigen Touch, der ihm Eleganz verleiht. Ein sehr schöner und vielversprechender Wein. 2020-2029 92/100
