Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2008

Fresh pear, cress, lime and nutmeg scent the nose of the Gouges white 2006 Nuits St.-Georges Perrieres. Juicier, more refreshing on the palate than the corresponding Clos des Porrets (grown a mere hundred meters away, but on much chalkier soil) yet at the same time flatteringly creamy in texture, it finishing with striking counterpoint of creaminess; citricity; zesty, tactile, slightly chewy pungency; and a hint of cherry pit bitterness. Either of these white Nuits-St.-Georges should be fascinating to follow from bottle for at least 5-7 years. Pierre and Christian Gouges are perpetuating the remarkable legacy of their grandfather whose discovery in 1936 and subsequent propagation in the Perrieres vineyard of white mutant Pinot, has since been followed by plantings in two further sites at the domaine, not to mention at the estates of other Cote de Nuits vignerons who possessed friendly ties to the Gouges family, unusually chalky parcels, and a taste for adventure.

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.
