Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits-Saint-Georges “Clos des Porrets St-Georges” Premier Cru 2017

“The wood treatment is a bit more evident than with any of the prior wines but not so much as to diminish the appeal of the earthier and cooler aromas of violet, plum and full-on sauvage notes. The delicious middle weight flavors are more refined than usual if not actually refined, all wrapped in detailed, focused and solidly powerful finish. Note that while this will certainly age, it’s sufficiently round to make for reasonably good early drinking.” – Allen Meadows, Burghound
