| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.9 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 52 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by WILDFANG on 4/16/2024 & rated 84 points: This really wasn't showing very well at all. Surprisingly dark in color, earthy, and very, very tannic, this was hard to even recognize as Burgundy. Tough as nails on opening, and even a four-hour decant couldn't bring it around, while on Day Two it was basically flavorless and gone. Maybe this wine is just years & years away, but this bottle was not enjoyable. (409 views) | | | Tasted by spdhardy on 12/25/2023 flawed bottle: Corked (1061 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 7/23/2023 & rated 92 points: Medium dark ruby, slightly cloudy; pure, well-balanced earth to spice to mineral aspect (chalk/marl notes); well-balanced on the palate with just right acid and tannins, well-structured and long. Not the most elegant or pretty nose, but a very good wine. About as classic as it gets. at Best in the Park BBQ. EWG (1856 views) | | | Tasted by Klugi Wine on 7/8/2023 & rated 92 points: Classical, backward Nuits St.-Georges.
Bouquet of Amarena Cherries, some spices, peppery and earthy notes.
The palate is still quite young with forceful tannins and a good, fresh backbone.
This wine has a long future ahead, will be interesting to see, if it gets a little more polished with time. (1655 views) | | | Tasted by vilepotabissabinum on 6/11/2023: Earthy, quite mature on the nose, good dark fruit on the palate. A little rough at the moment. (1774 views) | | | Tasted by viniferatu on 12/29/2022: Very Gouges, this is probably 10 years away from its most interesting phase, maybe 20! A bit awkward and rough, but certainly a character. Aromas of prune, dark chocolate, leather, cured meat, a touch of roses and tree bark... On the palate it is not particularly hard, nor particularly tart, but it's also not even close to smooth and polished, and the finish is remarkably tannic, practically numbing, though there are pretty chocolate and floral tones to admire as everything fades. Overall this just isn't in a great spot right now, though there's enough in play that I could see it improving a lot... I could also see it just improving a little, or not at all. This is yet another 2005 that isn't yet living up to the vintage hype. Yes, it may just need more time, but how much, and to what end? This is super classic Nuits-St. Georges: structured, savory, earthy... but could it have been more elegant and balanced if different winemaking had been employed? I imagine less extraction would have made something far more compelling. Listen to me, like I know what it's like to make great 1er cru red Burgundy?! LOL, I don't. This is very nice wine, but at this point it does not live up to what it is one paper. Given the price that equals Gouges+1er+2005, I expect more. This was tasted blind, and I guessed 2011 Gevrey 1er. (2095 views) | | | Tasted by Tad GW on 12/25/2022 & rated 94 points: =50+5+13+18+8=94 (1695 views) | | | Tasted by fizz on 10/28/2022: From 375ml.
Dark fruits, earth. Takes some time in the glass for the wine to stretch out. Iron, plum, dark cherry. Fine tannins which are integrating well. No rush on this one. (1604 views) | | | Tasted by VAGentleman on 1/15/2022 & rated 89 points: Still tightly wound. Moving toward velvety perfumed red fruit with earthen undertones. Good but not exceptional (2406 views) | | | Tasted by BAJRiley on 1/14/2022 & rated 92 points: Deep to mid depth of colour, not much bricking. Mostly red fruits on the nose, some black plum, violets, earth, spice and meaty notes. A bit of candied fruit in there too. Medium bodied, still a bit closed. Very structured but with a fresh palate. Not as big as I was expecting it to be, had a nice elegance to it. Shame I drank it, needed another 5-10 years I think, but still excellent. (2169 views) | | | Tasted by RISM on 2/4/2021 & rated 91 points: Translucent garnet/ruby colour. Perfumy red-fruit nose, cherries, cassis, spice, violets. Linear, yet palate-coating and full-bodied. Tannins still present, but less to the fore than 4 years ago and nicely integrated. Silky texture and a long finish which lingers. This will age gracefully and beautifully for at least another 5 years. Loving my '05s ! (2743 views) | | | Tasted by Argrath on 12/31/2020 & rated 91 points: A bit closed nose with some depth after a while. Rustic impression. Dark fruit, plum, earth and dried herbs. Some iron and tertiary nut aromas.
Medium-fullish palate with development. Still dense and fresh dark fruit. Good concentration and nice balance between ripe tannins, fruit and acidity. Good grip. Forest floor aromas. Some spice. Slightly four-square and a tad rustic. And also lacks a bit of aromatic complexity. But rich and sturdy wine, true to it's origin. (2411 views) | | | Tasted by pigdaddy on 12/27/2020 & rated 91 points: decanted one hour. a bit cloudy, deep dark black cherry red, slightly clear rim; reticent nose until well into second hour, soil & granite, roasted black plums; medium weight, fairly stylish; concentrated ripe dark plums & their skins, compost, almost peaty, med+ acidity, firm but entering the early stages for me.
pan-roasted chicken thighs; potato-leek gratin; cider-glazed turnips & their greens (2672 views) | | | Tasted by Klugi Wine on 11/22/2020 flawed bottle: Bummer, so much potential but the Cork did inevitably creep up with time :-( (2316 views) | | | Tasted by David Meddings on 11/21/2020 & rated 92 points: Decanted 2 hours. Notes from 2nd day. Clear garnet some bricking. Subdued nose. Cherry dominated palate, with brisk attack, fine tannins and a tar inflected spiciness on the long final.
Polished and well balanced with a beginning middle and end. I think this is just coming into its own and will be interested to follow this over the next 5-10 years. (2359 views) | | | Tasted by peternelson on 11/15/2020 & rated 91 points: This was in good shape, showing moderate signs of age, slightly ruby-amber; a bit subdued nose, fairly straight forward older Burg notes of cherry skin, forest floor, shrooms, light floral note. softening up,everything moderate on the palate. Perfectly fine good age, but not that exciting, especially wedged between a couple other new world pinots and some bigger wines. Duckhouse w/Yarom's group (2307 views) | | | Tasted by Rechrom on 6/14/2020 & rated 92 points: Double decanted. Lovely nose, a bit tight on the palate but with dark cherry, some tar and some herbal notes. This worked version y well with food, and was good on its own. Interesting wine, still not quite in great balance but getting there and has the goods to improve. Likely to improve but worth opening now. (2447 views) | | | Tasted by Milos on 6/20/2019 & rated 89 points: Part of 2005 Burgundy tasting. Fourth in the lineup. Somewhat disappointing showing for this wine. Dark ruby red. Dark red fruit and earthy and leathery nose. Started out intense with coarse tannins on the palate and went down from there. Disjointed and appeared to fall apart even more as the evening went on. Decently long finish but not balanced. Bottle variations? Awkward time for the wine? Who knows? I think the wine will pull together and will deserve much higher rating in few years. (3073 views) | | | Tasted by JOsgood on 12/31/2017: Super tight and unyielding from magnum. Maybe will be good in another 20 years? (4722 views) | | | Tasted by the godfather on 12/31/2017: So tight and unyielding, should have waited (3944 views) | | | Tasted by gout on 10/11/2017 & rated 90 points: Deepish ruby colour. restrained nose but with underlying complexity suggesting a good quality wine. On the palate, still firm tannins & tight character, but lovely fruit. Needs more time Will be very good. ? 4 - 8 years. (4586 views) | | | Tasted by Rani on 9/16/2017 & rated 91 points: The nose on this is seductive and full of violets. In the mouth, however, its tight with black fruit and dry tannins. Probably a few years from peaking. (4375 views) | | | Tasted by Rani on 8/10/2017 & rated 90 points: This has potential but is too tightly wound right now. I think it needs at least two more years to relax. (4218 views) | | | Tasted by RISM on 4/23/2017 & rated 90 points: Translucent garnet/ruby colour. Nose less forthcoming than the Pruliers from Gouges, but also notable red fruit (cherries and cassis), spice and forest floor. Full-bodied, balanced palate, tannins present, but well-integrated. Silky texture with grip and backbone, and a long finish. Delicious. I disagree with other notes which say this requires hours of "air-time" to open up. I decanted for an hour and found that ample. I also think that although this should age beautifully, it is drinking well now. (3816 views) | | | Tasted by Yagil on 11/22/2016 & rated 89 points: Bourgogne 1er cru evening (at Chanoch Reichenberg): P&P
quality typical NSG nose
lean-structured, OK in general but requires many hours of decanting till its character will reveal in full, as it's still very young and should be further aged for 5-10 years at least. (4438 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| Domaine Henri Gouges Producer websitePinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.Clos des Porrets St. Georges On Weinlagen.infoFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
