Burgundy International - Red
About the Session

Session 3 is devoted to red Burgundy, drawing together some of the finest terroirs of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Grower estates such as Armand Rousseau, Denis Mortet, Denis Bachelet, Georges Lignier and Ghislaine Barthod anchor a run of grand and premier cru Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Morey-Saint-Denis and Vosne-Romanée, while a extraordinary group of lots from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, including Échézeaux, Grands Échézeaux, Richebourg, La Tâche and Romanée-Saint-Vivant, forms the session's centrepiece. Rounded out by classic bottlings from Volnay, Pommard and Nuits-Saint-Georges, plus a scattering of Beaujolais crus, this session offers exceptional depth for Pinot Noir collectors.

About this Item

Nuits-Saint-Georges Collection 2015
2 (1 x 2) 750ml
Domaine Henri Gouges is one of the historic names of Nuits-Saint-Georges, a pioneer of estate bottling in the 1930s and a benchmark for structured, ageworthy, terroir-faithful Nuits. This lot pairs two of its Premiers Crus from the excellent 2015 vintage: the Clos des Porrets-Saint-Georges, a monopole in the family’s ownership giving depth, spice and firm tannin, and Les Pruliers, from iron-rich soils, offering a more floral, red-fruited and mineral profile. Together they show two contrasting faces of Gouges in a warm, concentrated year built for the cellar.

This lot consists of the following wines:
Henri Gouges Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos des Porret-Saint-Georges 2015 (1 x 750ml)
Henri Gouges Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers 2015 (1 x 750ml)

Critics Ratings

Henri Gouges Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos des Porret-Saint-Georges 2015
‘The 2015 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Clos des Porrets Saint Georges is—like the Vaucrains—already beginning to shut down, gradually unfurling in the glass with aromas of cassis, currant leaf, rich spice and raw cocoa. On the palate, the wine's fine-grained tannins take center stage for the moment, but its depth, concentration and energy are all very promising: the only missing ingredient is time. 2025-2050’ - William Kelley, Wine Advocate, 93+/100 (Apr 2018)

‘A notably ripe nose of cassis, black cherry, humus and earth possesses fine complexity. There is outstanding volume and mid-palate concentration to the powerful and mouth coating middle weight flavors that exhibit a subtle minerality on the sappy, dusty, energetic and beautifully persistent finish. This is a classic Nuits that is built-to-age and will need it. 2030+’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 93/100 (Jan 2018)

Henri Gouges Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers 2015
'The 2015 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru has a very perfumed, floral bouquet with scents of crushed flower and chalk permeating the red cherry and strawberry fruit. There is a little more horsepower here compared to the 2014 if not quite the same delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, tightening up in the middle to form a more sinewy, backward finish indicative of a vintage that is generally beginning to close up. Give this several years to really come around. Tasted at the Gouges retrospective at La Cabotte. 2023-2050’ - Neal Martin, Vinous, 92/100 (Apr 2018)
