| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.4 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 75 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by acyso on 2/4/2024 & rated 90 points: Vinetasters: (mostly) 2010 Burgundy (Park Ridge, IL): Served double blind. Hint of reduction and some ripeness to the fruit here. Firm structure, mostly driven by relatively hard tannins. High acidity adds to the structure as well. Not as charming and fruit-driven as the other wines, this is a bit angular right now. My 7th, group's 1st. (1631 views) | | | Tasted by aajder on 12/11/2023 & rated 92 points: Beautiful color, a touch of fading. The nose shows aromas of black raspberry, sous bois, flowers, decaying leaves and a hint of spices. This is medium full bodied on the palate with excellent concentration and wonderful class. The fairly long finish features integrated tannins and good acid cut. (1003 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 12/3/2023 & rated 92 points: Progressed in the last 2 years, mix of red but also some black fruit, starting undergrowth (sous-bois) notes. More developed compared to the 2012. Perfectly in the drinking window. (1263 views) | | | Tasted by wayfarer on 9/16/2023 & rated 93 points: Very good from first taste to last. On open delightful dark red fruit, black cherry, blackberry, hints of raspberry, mineral, earth aka sous bois, underpinnings, floral notes entice. Moderate rich palate, balanced tannin and acid. Evolves with air to bring more mineral and earth along with more prominent blackberry. Remains nicely balanced with good length, clean finish. Excellent on its own before and after dinner of rack of lamb, Oaxaca corn polenta. (1603 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 2/18/2022 & rated 92 points: Drunk over 2 days: dark cherries, black berries, lots of earth and salt, a complicated year chez Gouges with wines quite reduced, this is still on the young side, but pretty good already. (3755 views) | | | Tasted by aajder on 1/9/2021 & rated 89 points: Beautiful transparent ruby. The nose is tight; hinting at aromas of fresh berries, minerals, flowers, earth and pepper. This is medium full bodied on the palate with excellent concentration and very good class. Much more flavor on the palate than the nose gives away. The medium plus length finish features slightly rigid tannins and good acid cut. A bit shutdown and in need of some time before its prime drinking window. (4524 views) | | | Tasted by bugdoced on 1/3/2021 & rated 83 points: was so looking forward to this along with some duck in cherry sauce
but a flat disappointment broke my heart
all pepper
no fruit
even the earth overwhelmed
the second day nothing again
hopefully this is shut down and will live to tell a better tale on another day
probably should not rate this but that's the way it goes (4369 views) | | | Tasted by mmcdds on 8/31/2020 & rated 91 points: Very nice tonight with lots of dark red fruit that seems to have brightened abit since I last tasted this about 10 months ago. There’s plenty of earthy, brambly sous bois notes, some tarry undertones and good depth. Drinking well with just abit of air. (4475 views) | | | Tasted by murkybird on 4/15/2020 & rated 91 points: Much more pale and fragrant than the 2016 tasted a few weeks ago. Definitely a bit of style migration with the younger wine having more fruit density and reductive funk. This was a classier drink, some fuzzy tannins that were actually mellower than expected. (4977 views) | | | Tasted by texanoblues on 2/10/2020 & rated 94 points: Faded red with perceptible orange hues and clear in the glass. Open and highly perfumed nose with berries, , violets, vanilla, smoke, and earth. Same notes on the palate with prominent strawberry as well. All supported by supple and powerful acidity balanced by ample fine-grained taninns. Long mouth watering strawberry finish. Ready and open for business with a long (3 day at 4C) decant. Immediately after opening it was closed and harsh. It softened considerably after opening. 94+
Note to self: Don't open next one until 2025. It will be even better when it softens. (3989 views) | | | Tasted by mmcdds on 10/8/2019 & rated 91 points: Very nice with lots of reserved, dark, earthy red fruit with some subtle tarry undertones. Just a baby! (3501 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 4/24/2019 & rated 92 points: Nose of combined earth, berries and black cherries, on the palate earthy notes, tannins, good acidity, some pepper and salty elements, excellent density and length. Drinking well now but not at all on its apogee. You should have a case of 12 bottles in your cellar to drink them over the next 20 years :-) (3916 views) | | | Tasted by Dulcie and Aylwin on 3/29/2019: Purchased almost six years ago. Another bottle opened in celebration of our 10th anniversary (don't say I never push the boat out). I always feel I have to keep my fingers crossed in opening bottles of burgundy; there being an underlying fear of disappointment. Not in this case at all, and Dulcie's critical palate pronounced it "tasty." Lovely clear garnet color, an ebullient nose of barnyard and woodsy notes. On the palate a muscular, tart red cherry, some spices of nutmeg, generous length. Good. Noting that the latest vintage is pushing $100 in some stores. I feel happy with my purchase. (3577 views) | | | Tasted by Eric Guido on 3/7/2019 & rated 93 points: Lunch & Tasting with Gregory Gouges (The Modern): The nose was intense, displaying a mix of crushed stone, savory red berries, dark moist soil tones, hints of animal musk and tart cherry. On the palate, I found silky textures offset by brick acidity, with a mix of red and black berries, as savory spices and sweet herbal tones developed over a frame of fine tannin. The finish was long, spicy, savory, yet showing amazing purity of fruit, which sweetened over time, as herbal notes lingered long. There was so much purity and precision here, mixed with a classic structure. It’s worth mentioning that this was purged from Jeroboam. (5271 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 3/7/2019: Domain Henri Gouges Nuits St. Georges Lunch with Grégory Gouges (The Modern, New York): From jeroboam(!!). Light ruby with some maturity. A bit of funk and pine needles on the nose. Medium weight, some sap. Clay feel, brown spices, citric acidity. Excellent and long. It gets earthier but also cleaner with air. Neither perfectly clean nor objectively great, but also emblematic Nuits. (3776 views) | | | Tasted by SMZ on 2/25/2019 & rated 92 points: I’m a Calif Pinot guy who rarely drinks a French Burgundy. I liked this, but kept comparing it to the big, full, Rich CA pinots that I love...and it came up a little short (3196 views) | | | Tasted by Philip67 on 2/24/2019 & rated 90 points: Wonderful farm yard at the same time as pure fruit. Acidity still too high for me. But there is an underlying sweetness.... think acidity will soften in 20 years....
Black forest fruit with that pinot nose of musky raspberry compote
95 points nose, 89 palate. (2833 views) | | | Tasted by Euge67 on 11/30/2018 & rated 92 points: Se probabilmente è vero che avrebbe giovato uno o due anni ancora in bottiglia, chi lo apre adesso sicuramente non sbaglia. Il naso è inebriante. Ha in sé la ferrosita di un Gevrey e l'eleganza di vosne. In bocca rimane l'eleganza di un Vosne. Consiglio: lasciatelo respirare nel bicchiere e in bottiglia per almeno un'ora . (3157 views) | | | Tasted by MJReb on 3/23/2018 & rated 92 points: Beautiful nose of red and black fruit. The taste is mainly cherry, some cassis and blueberry. Good volume and length. Drinking very well now but here is space for moving upwards. (4129 views) | | | Tasted by gagrapes on 12/24/2017: Stem and green notes. Best to let this one sit for a while. No rating. (4175 views) | | | Tasted by Yassine23 on 10/1/2017: Medium ruby. Very tight so had to decant.
Red cherry, leather, game smoke, blueberry (?), vanilla, clove and cinnamon aromas.
Raspberry and red currant flavors.
Long finish.
Very elegant but way too young. Would happily try again in 5 to 10 years. (4707 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 9/25/2017: Mort du Canard (Dave's place, Banksia): Sulphur and I'm now getting a little stalks, slightly jubey fruit and earthy notes and some sweet spice. This is a little more sour than the last time I tried it. Still good with the pate though as this helps to lift the fruit up. (5152 views) | | | Tasted by BradE on 9/20/2017: Drank over two nights - vacuum corked and left in refrigerator overnight. A fine Gouges. Showed both the purity of the 2010 vintage (which I like a lot) and the trademark Gouges earthiness. I would drink and buy this anytime. (4529 views) | | | Tasted by chatters on 9/17/2017: Pinot and Pate matching (KC's place): From Coravin. Slight struck match with red berry fruit, savoury spice and a little bit of gaminess. Juicy, that sulphur note still makes the fruit a little on the palate. Tannins are fine by drying Hmm (4018 views) | | | Tasted by bugdoced on 7/30/2017 & rated 92 points: really good fruit; cherries french earth beginning to integrate (3985 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
