We are delighted to offer the 2024 vintage from Domaine Henri Gouges, a benchmark of quality in Nuits Saint Georges. We first visited here a couple of vintages back, in search of new wines from Nuits, and we were thrilled by their range which includes seven premiers crus, made from fruit from 15 hectares of very old vines, all cultivated organically, in numerous small plots across the appellation.
Established in 1920 by Henri Gouges, today the domaine is run by his great-grandsons, cousins Gregory and Antoine Gouges. In recent years, their winemaking style has moved toward greater linearity, purity of fruit, and fine balance. Historically, Nuits wines were famous for their depth and power, though this was largely relative, at a time when wines from many villages lacked concentration. Today, even their Nuits Saint-Georges Villages offers deliciously concentrated fruit, but with far softer tannins than of old, meaning the wines can be enjoyed from just 3-4 years after the vintage.
As well as the villages, our offer below includes some of the top premiers crus sites, including 'Clos des Porrets-St-Georges', a monopole of the domaine, with 3.6 hectares. 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.
We are also fortunate to be able to offer very limited stock on allocation of the 'Saint Georges' premier crus, the vineyard that gave its name to Nuits and known since the Middle Ages for the quality of its wines.
Stocks of all wines are extremely limited. Please let us know as soon as possible if you would like to order.
Offered en primeur, landing Autumn 2026.

Tasting Notes"Mid ruby. Dark, red-cherry nose with some perfume. Moderately high, fresh acidity. Concentrated dark raspberry on the palate. Firm but integrated tannins, moderate intensity on the finish. 2027-2032. 16 points." (MH) Jancisrobinson.com------"The 2024 Nuits Saint-Georges Village was bottled in the first week of September with 20% aged in ceramics (Clayver) vessels. There is plenty of dark berry fruit on the nose with a subtle pepperiness that might dupe you into thinking there were some stems, and just a hint of cold black tea. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid red fruit. There is a slight coarseness to the tannins and here I feel that the finish is a little greener than I would have liked. But there is decent freshness and it will provide decent early drinking. Drinking Window 2027-2035. 88 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com ------"A touch of herbal tea is present on the bright aromas of red currant, plum, earth and a hint of the sauvage. The very rich, round and generously proportioned middle weight flavors that possess solid mid-palate density, especially in the context of the vintage while exhibiting good power on the mildly rustic finish. This too could reasonably be enjoyed young if desired. Drink: 2029+. 88 points" Allen Meadows' Burghound------"Bottled August. A full bright ruby. The bouquet has a more classical pinot aspect, clearly with considerable weight and depth. A darker style of fruit. In fact, considerable weight of red and black together, strawberry and blackberry with good acidity, plenty of tannins and fine persistence. No new wood was used. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted Nov 2025. 91 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |

Tasting Notes"Tank sample. Mid ruby. Ripe blackcurrant and raspberry nose. Raspberries and woodland fruit on the palate. Fine tannins, quite powdery and chalky; not hard nor typically Nuits. Moderate intensity to the finish. 2027-2037. 16+ points." (MH) Jancisrobinson.com------"The 2024 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Porrets-Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a perfumed bouquet with brambly red fruit, wilted rose petals, fine definition and admirable purity given the growing season. The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly herbaceous opening. There is a strong briny influence here, modest depth though I am seeking more precision on the strict tea leaf finish. Afford this a year or two in bottle. Drinking Window 2027-2042. 89-91 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com------"Tasted from a tank sample. Mid to darker crimson. A touch of the plum profile of central Nuits-St-Georges, with both depth and tannins. If they get this style in 2024 what of a hot vintage? Good acidity helps. Just about juicy enough. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Nov 2025. 91-92 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com------"A restrained and extremely fresh nose mixes notes of violet, plum and anise with those of dark pinot fruit and newly turned earth. The medium weight plus flavors possess an appealing texture as it's seductive while delivering excellent length on the well-balanced finale. This slightly firmer effort could use better depth so plan on at least some cellaring. One to consider. Drink: 2032+. 90-93 points" Allen Meadows' Burghound |

Tasting Notes"The 2024 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaignots 1er Cru had been bottled after one year. This has a little reduction on the nose with mulberry and raspberry scents. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and moderate depth but it just doesn't kick on towards the finish, which feels a bit simplistic compared to its peers. Drinking Window 2027-2040. 87-89 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com------"There is just enough post-bottling reduction to knock down the nose so if you're tempted to try a bottle young, 30 minutes of air should help. I very much like the texture of the delicious, succulent and seductively textured medium weight flavors deliver good if not special depth and length on the balanced finale. This should benefit from 4 to 7 years of keeping. Drink: 2030+. 90 points" Allen Meadows' Burghound------"Only two barrels made. In bottle. Mid crimson ruby, with a gentler softer bouquet. This is an elegant Chaignots showing its close to Vosne credentials. Takes on riper darker fruit behind. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Nov 2025. 92 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |

Tasting Notes"Tank sample. Mid ruby. Raspberry, cassis and spice on the nose. Ripe and quite rich on the mid palate with some zesty, citrus and blood-orange character to the fruit. Hearty, fulsome tannins with a salty, iodine finish. 17 points." (MH) Jancisrobinson.com------"An elegant, pure and airy nose is comprised by distinctly cool aromas of various red berries, earth and a suggestion of green tea. There is again very good volume and richness to the generously proportioned flavors that also flash evident minerality on the mildly tangy finish that offers good depth and persistence. This is also not quite as compact as it usually is. Drink: 2032+. 90-93 points" Allen Meadows' Burghound------"The 2024 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a perfumed, floral bouquet with violet and peony infusing the layers of black cherry and wild strawberry fruit. Very refined and focused. The palate is well balanced with raspberry, wild strawberry, a touch of white pepper and clove coming through with time. This feels a bit more closed and less expressive compared to the Les Vaucrains, yet it seems very well defined on the finish. This is very promising. Drinking Window 2028 - 2047. 92-94 points" Neal Martin, Vinous.com------An even crimson colour. Here there is not the borderline over ripe feel to the nose, just a more balanced and compact concentration of darker red fruit. Both sultry and silky on the palate, with tannins to come, but such a rich fruit extract that the tannins have to mind their position. Very much in reserve but more readable today. A fine long finish. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Nov 2025. 93-95 points" Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy.com |
