| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.5 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 15 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Burgundy Al on 3/1/2024 & rated 90 points: La Paulée de Los Angeles - The Verticals (Maybourne Hotel - Beverly Hills CA): Walkaround vertical tasting. Shocked at how approachable this was already, given vintage and terroir. Soft and easy fruit and a bit of braised meat. Very good now. (887 views) | | | Tasted by AndrewWill on 2/16/2024: Cherry, strawberry, plum, potting soil nose. The palate delivers a mouth-coating rush of cherry, liqueur, a tad of cassis. A hint of iron and a dash of medicine at the end. The definition of velvety tannins.
A delicious wine with an extremely long finish. But not a full-bodied wine—ignore comments saying as much. (666 views) | | | Tasted by Papies on 2/5/2024 & rated 92 points: From magnum and surprisingly polished and round.
Well mannered fruit, beautiful aromatics, soft rich feel but all well in balance and really an effortless beauty of a wine. Granted could use some more complexity at times but it will never fail you. 92 and easily another decade of beautiful drinking ahead. (945 views) | | | Tasted by Enricaccio on 12/13/2022 & rated 91 points: Drank at a dinner party, paired with tagliatelle with truffle; out of the bottle (no decanting), the nose was clearly Burgundy, body is medium+, medium + acidity; tannins are starting to integrate, the palate is blackberry and some minerality / earth tones; still to young to judge but certainly a good wine. (2209 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 8/4/2022 & rated 91 points: Full bodied Pinot from a hot year, stylistically in line with the recently tasted Gouges Bourgogne and Nuits Village 2018, a bit too high in alcohol, not sophisticated, but drinking well. (2426 views) | | | Tasted by philmtl on 2/7/2022: Decanted for 3 hours.
I was on the fence between "I like it" and "Neutral" on this one but came to the conclusion that I am "Neutral" on it for a Gouges Clos des Porrets but overall, "I like it".
The nose is quite opulent and ripe with cherries, plums, cassis, tilled earth and some oak spices. This is close to full-bodied and quite lush. The tannins are supple with a hint of grip. It's quite juicy, thanks to the acidity but the fruits on the palate are a tad too ripe or cooked to my liking. It finishes a little warm which fits in with the fruit profile. I'm missing a little rusticity here that would keep the ripe fruit in check. Not my favorite vintage and I'm not sure what time will do to this one. (3026 views) | | | Tasted by Sean Tay on 8/2/2021 & rated 93 points: Medium nose with notes of black / red fruits, vanilla, black currant. Still youthful with medium+ acidity and tannin. A very well made Pinot that can only get better along with time. In my opinion, its either decanting for at least 3 hours if not to try again in next 3 - 5 years time. Not ready to drink and the score will get better with time (3068 views) | | | Tasted by Sean Tay on 4/12/2021 & rated 94 points: Pronounced nose intensity with notes of red fruits, strawberry, cherry, spices. Medium+ acidity and tannin. Decanted for 4 hours (2911 views) | | | Tasted by Lynn & Wine on 4/4/2021: Nose of deep red berries and baked goods. Full and round palate that fills my mouth with delicious flavours. Oak and tannins were not overpowering and were very in sync. Paired really well with beef ragu. While really open, this is definitely too young but it has lots of potential. Excited to see whether this evolves and gains complexity with time. (1874 views) | | | Tasted by hajoha on 2/9/2021 & rated 91 points: Vinmarken er en egen del av Porrets st. Georges om kun Gouges lager. Alt avstilket, 15% andel nye fat.
Litt reduktiv, men ganske pent det her.
Blir knall om noen år.
Flott frukt på smak.
Fast i fisken.
Flott lengde 91p (1927 views) | | | Tasted by Gas Station Wine Guy on 10/11/2020: Drink this over the course of four days and it never really quite came around. There was a little bit of fruit in the wine but not much else. I think this may have been a slightly off bottle but not 100% sure. So no judgment at this point. (1685 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 2/12/2020 & rated 90 points: Burgundy, Day 2 (Beaune, France): According to Grégory, this is a plot that tends to make wines that are a little more stern; versus the Chaignots it's quite clear that that's true. While the red-fruit-based profile is very much the same, this wine shows a little less of the spicy elegance and more of a burly earthy power. The tannins here are slightly grittier as well. (2762 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 2/12/2020: Tasting at Domaine Henri Gouges (Nuits Saint George): Charming red fruits that have more earthen, rustic flavors. Nice concentration and richness of red fruits. The styling here feels more classically NSG, though its not hard by any means. 90-92 (1240 views) |

| 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
