2021 Domaine Henri Gouges Rouge Nuits St. Georges

Winemaker Notes:  A lovely, brilliant crimson color. A very earthy Nuits nose with some vanilla bean, too. On the palate, smoky, velvet-textured fruit without any tannin, but acids take their place, so the wine is nicely balanced. Not heavy, but a very elegant Pinot expression at the end.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Spectator - "Perfumed and silky, featuring rose, sandalwood, orange peel and oak spice aromas that frame strawberry, cherry and saline mineral flavors. With an almost seamless structure even at this stage in its evolution, this wine blossoms midpalate, building to the complex and persistent aftertaste."
