1997 Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Saint Georges

The colour was more of a ruby red, maybe a touch of bricking but no browning at all, still so young. More than enough acidity and tannins were in check, everything in balance. Not the most complex and more red fruited on the nose without much tertiary development but just a pleasure to drink. None of the rusticity that some Gouges from this era can have, almost elegant.

Especially red fruited and so young considering it’s age. Graphite, leather with good balance and acidity, really in a good place. Shame it’s my only bottle.

In great condition for a 34 year old village wine with hardly any staining on the cork. Some bricking on the edges and on the nose a touch of sous bois but still quite red fruited. Good acidity on the palate still with tannins fully resolved and decent length. Most enjoyable!
