Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, June 2010

A strong sense of red meatiness and of fresh blackberry fruit informs the Gouges 2008 Nuits-St.-Georges Les Chenes Carteaux, with a savory saline streak serving for invigoration and saliva-inducement, while peat-like smokiness adds intrigue. Firm but fine-grained; bright and with tartness of berry-skin, this finishes with impressive, energetic penetration. While the leanness and brightness here won't be everyone's cup of Pinot, I suspect that this will evolve fascinatingly and prove highly adaptable at table over the next 7-9 years. The relatively younger (ca. 30 year-old) vines and sandy, fast-draining soil in this site almost certainly play major roles in its taut, mineral- and extract-rich yet relatively light-weight nature. -David Schildknecht

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.
