Nuits St Georges les Vaucrains, Domaine Henri Gouges 2012

**Note: a 1 ha mix of younger and older vines that average about 50+ years of age**
This is easily the most sauvage wine of the range with its nose of smoked meat, plum, cassis, humus and plenty of underbrush. There is a distinctly earthy character to the rich, intense and broad-shouldered flavors that exude a focused power before culminating in a concentrated, long and very serious finish. This brooding and very backward effort will require a long siesta in the cellar before it will be approachable.
