2021, Domaine Henri Gouges, NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES, VillageFrom the fruit of 5 climats: Plateaux, Belles Croix, Fleurires, Brles, and Chaliots. A fine bright crimson, with a lively red fruit, strawberry and raspberry together. Good intensity, higher acidity than the Bourgogne, which helps to deliver an attractive crunch to the finish. Medium plus length, no need to wait too long for this. *** 89 Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy (2022). The 2021 Nuits Saint Georges Village has a tertiary, slightly mulchy
