Domaine Henri Gouges - Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Les Vaucrains' - 2018

“Picked in the morning and then in the afternoon the pickers checked bunch by bunch to remove any damaged grapes. Dense purple, veering to black with a hyper-concentrated nose, but it is still balanced. A huge sweet dark fruit mouthful with just a trace of the characteristic hillside austerity, but rather overwhelmed by the richness of the fruit. I think it will become more Vaucrains with age. Lovely peppery finish.” Jasper Morris, Insider Burgundy, 93-95 points
