Henri Gouges Nuits-St-Georges Les St Georges 1996 is a medium-bodied Burgundy red wine from the Premier Cru climat of Les St Georges in the Nuits-St-Georges commune of the Côte de Nuits. Gradually formed through several generations, Domaine Henri Gouges covers 15 hectares across 10 appellations – among them seven Premiers Crus. Henri Gouges himself created the domaine in the 1920s, becoming one of the first growers in Burgundy to sell wine under his own name. "A bottle of Gouges` 1996 Nuits-St.-Georges Les St. Georges that had been opened for 6 hours revealed a dark ruby colour as well as a blackberry and liquorice-scented nose. Deep, profound, chewy, full-bodied, it possesses flavours of road tar, leather, earth, and espresso beans. A great Nuits-St.-Georges, it will require cellaring patience. It is prodigiously well-balanced, and reveals an extraordinarily long, detailed, and flavourful finish." Wine Advocate, 1999

Deep ruby-red. Pungent, vibrant aromas of blackberry, dark chocolate and minerals. Pure and very intensely flavored, with a penetrating flavor of currant jam. Racy acids frame and extend the youthfully aggressive fruit. This is very unevolved yet extremely persistent on the palate. Here the tannins seem firmer and more focused. Likely to be very long-lived.Stephen Tanzer1st March 1999
