Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, June 2007

The 2005 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Chenes Carteaux - from a tiny site above the Les St.-Georges - leads with tart red currant aromas, then offers more black fruit suggestions on the palate, along with underlying nuttiness, smoked meat and mineral salts. Quite firm in tannin, and faintly bitter in its iodine-like way, the finish is nevertheless also persistently bright and invigorating in its salinity. Again. I harbor suspicion that this is suffering a bit from having been in bottle for only two weeks.

Good deep red. Slightly reduced aromas of redcurrant and spice on the nose. Juicy and spicy but a bit tough today, less enveloping than the Chaignots, with a dominant blackberry flavor. Plenty of powerful fruit here along with considerable energy, but today the sturdy tannins seem a bit less well buffered by fruit than those of the Chaignots.

About Winery

Domaine Henri Gouges is, in many minds, the top grower of Nuits Saint-Georges. The Gouges family has been vineyard proprietors in Nuits for generations and proprietors of the current domaine since 1919. Henri Gouges, along with the Marquis d' Angerville from Volnay, was at the forefront of battles against fraud in Burgundy in the 1920's. In the 1930's Monsieur Gouges was one of the people charged with the job of delineating the crus in Burgundy for the Institut Nationale d' Appellation d'Origine, and he was a member of that regulatory body at its outset. Today, Henri Gouges' two grandsons, Christian and Pierre, carry on the traditions of the family, which has been estate-bottling for fifty years. The vineyard is entirely planted in low-yielding pinots snf the average age of the vines is between 30 and 40 years, except for the Chaignots, where the vineyard is between 10-15 years.
