Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits-St-Georges "Clos des Porrets" 1er Cru 2021

The Henri GOUGES domain was established in 1919 of Nuits Saint Georges at the very beginning of this century. Founded by Henri Gouges, it was subsequently developed by his two sons, Michel and Marcel. Today it is Pierre, Christian and their successor, Grégor. Over three generations, the Henri Gouges domain has had the honour of appearing on many of the most respected tables in France and across the world.

Monopole of a superficy area of 3,6 hectares, this parcel is located right under les Perrières, a former pit of Nuits Saint Georges that was previously exploited by the monks of Citeaux. Set on the pink limestone and very rocky Premeaux, the Clos des Porrets is made of limestone screes and of a soil high in clay on lower slopes. Long-keeping wines that come from it express a lovely finesse after a few years of bottles.
