On the palate, tart red cherry, cranberry, and dark berry notes are carried by fresh acidity and smooth tannins. The finish is ripe, savory, and stony, showing the classic mineral grip of Nuits-Saint-Georges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCuvée Louise is a cuvée specially and exclusively selected for Singapore,\u003c\/strong\u003e a blend of some of the finest plots of Nuits-Saint-Georges. It undergoes a relatively light aging process to preserve the character of Nuits-Saint-Georges while remaining enjoyable in its youthful years.

He was among the first growers in Burgundy to reject the négociant trading system of the era, choosing instead to bottle and market his wines directly from 1933 — a rare and progressive practice at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs both mayor of Nuits-Saint-Georges and an appointed member of INAO in the 1930s, when Burgundy's appellations were first codified, Henri successfully led the campaign against classifying his own village's vineyards as Grand Cru, believing the terroir did not merit it — a rare act of integrity that still defines the domaine's exacting standards today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estate's 14.5 hectares include seven of Nuits-Saint-Georges' finest Premier Cru climats — Les Saint-Georges, Les Chaignots, Chênes Carteaux, Clos des Porrets-Saint-Georges, Les Pruliers and Les Vaucrains — alongside the rare white La Perrière, propagated from a Chardonnay-like mutation of Pinot Noir that Henri discovered growing spontaneously within Clos-des-Porrets in 1936. The entire vineyard has been farmed organically since 2008.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday the domaine is run by Henri's grandsons Pierre and Christian, with Pierre's son Grégory overseeing winemaking. The low-yield, minimal-intervention philosophy Henri established a century ago continues to define wines of remarkable precision, structure and ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henri Gouges","offers":[{"title":"6 x 750 ml","offer_id":46087887421510,"sku":"VSSK-03491-Case - 6 x 750 ml","price":620.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 x 750 ml","offer_id":46087886995526,"sku":"VSSK-03491","price":109.8,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/5177\/8374\/files\/93Bottles3.png?v=1785909366","url":"https:\/\/thevintageclub.sg\/products\/maison-henri-gouges-nuits-saint-georges-louise-red-2023","provider":"The Vintage Wine Club Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
