2019 | Henri Gouges | Nuits St Georges Hommage

Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Henri Gouge is a family-owned domaine established in the 1920s. Henri Gouges [1889-1967] was something of a pioneer, the first Burgundian to bottle his own wine to guarantee provenance and quality. This release is the ‘Hommage’ cuvée from the 2019 vintage, a standout year for Burgundy. Expect a fleshy texture, revealing notes of cedar, cherries and liquorice.

Producer Information

Domaine Henri Gouges is a highly regarded producer in the Burgundy commune of Nuits-Saint-Georges with holdings in a number of its premier cru vineyards. It makes mostly red wine from Pinot Noir, the dominant variety of the region. Though holding no land in grand cru sites, the premier crus of the domaine and the wider Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation are considered to be some of the finest in the Côte de Nuits, the most renowned being Les Saint-Georges.The domaine was founded in 1919 by Henri Gouges and continues to be owned and operated by the family, which dates its history back several generations earlier than the eponymous estate. Gouges was a prominent figure, who made several notable contributions to the region.He was among the first producers to eschew the Burgundy négociant system that was often viewed as corrupt. Instead, in the 1920s, Gouges championed estate bottling, an uncommon practice at the time.
