Domaine Henri Gouges

Clos des Porrets St. Georges Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1999

1999 vintage. Some frequent guests brought this in and were worried about it having held up. In my experience, this decidedly, old-school producer needs more time than the average bear to come around and show well. Nice fill and great cork. Decanted and tasted after 20 minutes. Throwing a bit of sludgy/powdery sed but very manageable. Slight amount of funk on the nose that blew off within minutes. Wine was a tad flat at the onset but gained strength in the decanter/glass with more oxygen. The fruit, thankyouforasking, was just dandy. Tannins, while still evident, were functioning more like an omniscient narrator. Ridiculous, deep, like just bottled color to this wine. So ridiculous, had to check several times with different lighting/backgrounds to make sure it wasn't my imagination. Beautiful, older premier cru red Burg experience. 9.14.25. — 18 days ago

La Tâche Pinot Noir 2006

disappointing. Feels slightly flat alongside its siblings. Pretty fruit and clearly classy but just flat. Clearly a substandard bottle given how well the rsv and riche showed — 4 days ago

Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2022

Medium dark rubi robe, nose of dark cherries, spices and a hit of cloves and flowers. Oh so good in the mouth, medium bodied, complex, flowery and with some vanilla from the barriques. Fantastic. Roumier has gotten better over the years. — 3 days ago

Les Chaignots Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2022

Back at our new favorite seafood restaurant and so very difficult to find the right red wine pairing (we were in the mood for some red….don’t judge us!)
Our new Sommelier BFF (Michael) steered us to this region and he was spot on! Light, fresh, red fruits…delicious 😋

Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2012

Another stunning Chambertin from the Burgundy dinner in Sydney 6 weeks ago. An absolutely gorgeous nose. Interestingly 100% new oak but the powerful fruit just swallows it. A little Animale/Feral note which adds interest. The medium plus bodied palate shows a savoury and sinewy texture. This has got the lot and still with a long window up to the early 2040s. Surpassed the 2002 in my book. — 8 days ago

Aux Combottes Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2009

Initial aromas of oak which largely blew off with air. Savoury red fruits. Almost palate staining in its intensity A rich generous palate with great persistence. Combottes is literally surrounded by Grand Crus in Clos de la Roche, Latricieres Chambertin, and Charmes Chambertin. Had this a week ago with Duck. One of the 1001 Wines. My son, who works in New York bought this at Sotheby’s for me and brought it home in December 2013 for Christmas of that year. — 9 days ago
