Situated in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Henri Gouges is a family-owned estate 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 cuvée is produced from a 3.6-hectare monopole which previously belonged to the monks of Cîteaux. 2009 was an outstanding vintage for red Burgundy, comparable to 2005.

Vinous
Good medium red. Very ripe but fresh aromas of red fruits, menthol, coffee and licorice. Silky on entry, then solid in the middle and stuffed with redcurrant, black raspberry and dark chocolate flavors complicated by leather and spices. This seriously structured, complex 2009 shows little in the way of easy sweetness today and will need a good five or six years of aging. Finishes with broad tannins and excellent persistence.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2012
