Nuits St Georges Les Chaignots, Domaine Henri Gouges 2013

Tasting Notes

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots has a complex bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, sandalwood and damp undergrowth, a hint of wilted violet emerging with time. The palate is fresh and pure on the entry, marked by supple, saturated tannin, layers of red cherry and strawberry and demonstrating impressive density on the finish that betrays some stem addition. This is a wine that is determined to make an impression and it does so without ostentation or vulgarity. Tasted September 2016.
