Intensity is the calling card of Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits-St-Georges Clos des Porrets St. Georges Premier Cru 2020: a dark, concentrated Burgundy packed with roasted plum, black cherry and cassis, layered over earthy, savory depth and a distinctly muscular frame. Structure is stern and tannins are firm, giving the wine a serious, compact feel that will appeal more to those who enjoy power than finesse, and the ripe character of the vintage edges toward the baked, especially as it sits in the glass.
Roasted lamb shoulder with herbs; Duck breast with black cherry sauce; Wild mushroom and lentil stew

Domaine Henri Gouges’ Nuits-St-Georges Clos des Porrets St. Georges Premier Cru is a muscular yet refined Pinot Noir from the estate’s historic monopole, a mid-slope former quarry just below Les Perrières on stony pink limestone with clay-rich scree. Typically dark-fruited, earthy and firmly structured, it marries the deep, spicy power of southern Nuits with a chalky freshness and elegant finesse that blossoms beautifully with a few years in bottle.
