100% Pinot Noir
Tasting notes
The nose offers impressive volume and intensity, bursting with red fruit aromas framed by a chalky minerality and a subtle touch of oak. On the palate, it’s generous, juicy, and supple, unfolding with spicy red fruit and a creamy blend of blue, black, and red berries. There’s a beautiful sense of ease and harmony throughout. A wine that’s approachable now, yet capable of evolving gracefully over the next 2 to 9 years.
More About The Winery
Founded in 1925, Domaine Henri Gouges is one of the most iconic estates of Nuits-Saint-Georges in Burgundy. With 14.5 hectares of prime vineyards, including seven renowned Premier Cru sites, the domaine has built a reputation for crafting age-worthy, terroir-driven Pinot Noir of incredible precision and purity.
Henri Gouges was among the pioneers of estate bottling in Burgundy, beginning in 1933 alongside estates like Marquis d’Angerville. His philosophy of low yields and meticulous vineyard care set the tone for generations to come. Today, the domaine is run by the third and fourth generations — Pierre and Christian Gouges, together with Pierre’s son Gregory, who oversees winemaking.
These are profound, expressive Burgundies that marry power with elegance. Dark fruit, spice, and mineral undertones reflect the limestone-rich terroirs, while the long aging potential makes them prized additions to serious collectors’ cellars.
