Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Les Saint Georges Domaine Gouges Henri, 2022

Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges from Domaine Henri Gouges is a benchmark Burgundy from one of the commune’s most celebrated premier cru vineyards. The 2022 vintage comes from a historic site known for combining depth, structure, and refinement, making it one of the most compelling expressions of Pinot Noir in Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep, focused red Burgundy with a vibrant ruby colour that hints at both concentration and freshness. The nose typically opens with dark cherry, wild strawberry, blackberry, and dried rose petals, layered with subtle notes of earth, spice, forest floor, and finely woven oak. On the palate, this wine is structured and precise, with ripe red and dark fruit framed by firm but polished tannins and lively acidity. The finish is long and mineral-driven, with excellent balance and the kind of backbone that suggests strong ageing potential. In a good cellar, it should evolve beautifully over the next 10 to 15 years, gaining complexity, savoury depth, and silky texture.

Production
Les Saint-Georges is one of the most prized premier cru climats in Nuits-Saint-Georges, where limestone and marl soils help produce Pinot Noir of exceptional structure and intensity. Domaine Henri Gouges is known for careful vineyard work and low-intervention cellar practices, with grapes typically harvested by hand and vinified to preserve purity, terroir expression, and the firm architectural style that defines the domaine.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for roast duck, game birds, mushroom dishes, braised beef, or lamb with herbs. Serve at around 16-18°C and, if opening young, decant for 1-2 hours to allow the wine to breathe and show its full aromatic range.

Producer
Domaine Henri Gouges is one of the historic names in Nuits-Saint-Georges, with a reputation built on serious, terroir-driven Burgundy and a long-standing presence in the region. The domaine has earned recognition for its disciplined vineyard management and for crafting wines that are both traditionally styled and highly age-worthy, making it a reference point for the appellation.
