Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Les Vaucrains Henri Gouges 1998 is a Pinot Noir from the Les Vaucrains vineyard, a renowned site on the rocky slopes of Nuits-Saint-Georges in the Côte de Nuits. Domaine Henri Gouges owns 1.48 hectares within this prized climat. The 1998 vintage was a difficult one, which produced structured, firmly tannic wines that have required considerable time to evolve. This bottling, from one of the village`s most renowned producers, now shows a complex bouquet of dried cherries, sous-bois, leather and smoked meat. The palate is defined by its still-firm structure and a savoury, mineral intensity, showcasing the rugged character of the terroir and a vintage that demanded patience.

Vinous
Full ruby-red. Perfumed, subtly complex nose combines blackcurrant, crystallized red berries, plum, tobacco, flowers and meat. Voluminous and thick with extract, but also bright and pure, with sappy berry flavors and an aspect of inky austerity. Builds impressively on the very long finish, which features very firm yet suave tannins. This, too, should be long-lived.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2001
