About this Item

Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos des Porret-Saint-Georges, 2002
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Domaine Henri Gouges is a highly regarded producer in Nuits-Saint-Georges with holdings in a number of the appellation's Premiers Crus. Established in 1920, Henri Gouges was dissatisfied with the idea of selling his fruit to négociants. He envisioned producing wines of superior quality from his new domaine and, by 1933, was producing, bottling and selling his own wines. The property has remained undivided and family-run, with custodianship passed from generation to generation. Today, it is managed by Henri’s great grandsons, Gregory and Antoine Gouges but Henri's philosophy: ‘it is on the vines that great wines are made’ has endured. The estate now holds 14.5 hectares of vineyards. The Premiers Crus of the domaine and the wider Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation are considered to be some of the finest in the Côte de Nuits.

Critics Ratings

‘This is an exercise in both elegance and refinement, especially as it concerns the tannins and the flavors are rich, sweet, structured and impressively intense and display a very attractive spicy quality on the finish. This is more stylish than it usually is but there is still plenty of Nuits character here.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90/100 (Jan 2005)
