  Jeunes pour un NSG certes mais cette cuvée est souvent accessible un peu plus jeune. Non dénudée de structure, il y a assez d’arômes de fruits pour la rendre accessible, gagnant à l’aération lente dans le verre. D’une belle complexité, devrait gagner au moins un point avec la garde mais déjà très bon.

  I'm an amateur when it comes to Henri Gouges wines, but I found this highly enjoyable! Super classic Bourgogne nose: flower petals, autumn leaves, potting soil, rosehips, sweet tobacco, raspberry and ripe cherries. On the palate this is juicy, fleshy, very well balanced and long. For a NSG i found this surprisingly fruit forward also less austere and structured than what I'm used to. Very good! Should have bought more...

  La Paulée de Los Angeles - The Verticals (Maybourne Hotel - Beverly Hills CA): Walkaround vertical tasting. Also very tasty already now, but the rare 2017 that might reward more cellar than the 2018. Lots going on here.

  First of six bottles; I’ve been sitting on these for 2-1/2 years waiting to crack one open. Decanted prior to dinner of baked pesto salmon with spinach ravioli. Initially, very disjointed with creamy oak causing lots of distraction and masking the purity of the fruit. It took nearly two hours for this to start to come together. Eventually, this started to shine and show some balance. In retrospect, I knew it was still early on this, but a six years, it was time to delve into it. I plan on sitting on the remaining bottles for another 12-18 months before making another run. A big, muscular Red Burgundy withs lots of potential, but could use additional time in the cellar. Drink now with a long decant and through 2040+.

  Had bought a case and was curious how this would show. Powerful, structured but sill very enjoyable, this was a prime example of the NSG terroir while clearly showing the transition of the Domaine towards a much more elegant and less stern approach of winemaking. Needless to say, this will need another ~5 years to show its full potential but it certainly was a pleasure to drink now.
