Bright medium red. Slightly reduced aromas of black fruits, licorice and fresh herbs. At once supple and precise, with juicy cherry fruit dominating. On the lean side but offers very good focus and cut. The black cherry quality carries through to the firmly tannic yet pliant finish.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2012

The 2010 Nuits St. Georges (from tank) reveals dark shades of fruit with more depth than the Bourgogne. It comes across as fleshy and round. Hints of tar, licorice and violets add complexity on the finish. This is a very pretty villages. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020.
I was a bit surprised by the wines I tasted with Gregoire Gouges. Over the last few years Gouges has worked to make some of his entry-level offerings more accessible, but I noted that quality across the board in the 2010s, which is quite out of character not only for the house, but for virtually all 2010s from important sites. Of course the wines are still mostly in barrel. It will be interesting to see the direction the 2010s take over the next year. The 2010s were made from 100% destemmed fruit and aged in French oak barrels, 20% new. The malos were slow in 2010, and finished in June. The wines were racked for the first time in August. Except as noted, I tasted the 2010s from barrel. Gouges made the decision to move some of his wines into tank in order to preserve freshness.
