Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains Henri Gouges 2016

The wine

This vineyard plot is located between the famous Saint-Georges and the Combe des Vallerots valley on the edge of the forest. Yields here are particularly low, resulting in a very concentrated Nuits-Saint-Georges that will need at least ten years' aging.

About the Producer Henri Gouges

Founded by Henri Georges at the beginning of the 20th century on 14.50 ha of vines at Nuit Saint Georges, the domain is managed today by his two great-grandsons, Grégory and Antoine. For environmental reasons, some of the vineyards have grassed alleys. Yield selection and grape sorting, followed by 18 months of maturing in oak barrels, produce wines that are characteristic of their terroir. The domain has experienced a real stylistic revolution over recent years. It used to produce the most concentrated and tannic wines from this cold and late terroir. When young, the wines could be austere, but with a huge ageing potential of over 30 years. Keeping this immense potential, they are now more focused on finesse, which is a great development for this exceptional domain.
