Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Henri Gouges is a family-owned property currently run by cousins Pierre and Christian Gouges. Henri Gouges established the Domaine in 1925, becoming one of the first growers in Burgundy to sell wine under his own name. This particular cuvée is produced from a 3.6-hectare monopole which previously belonged to the monks of Cîteaux. 1996 was an outstanding vintage for both white and red Burgundy which are dinking beautifully now.

Vinous
The 1996 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Porrets Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a broody and herbaceous nose, and a little green around the edges, becoming pastille-like with aeration. The palate is fresh with pointed, sharp acidity, gentle in terms of grip but this fades alarmingly on the finish. This suggests it is running out of puff so drink up! Tasted at the Gouges retrospective at La Cabotte. Neal Martin1st October 2018
