Henri Gouges, Nuits St Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru 2014 Caino the use of wood only

the use of wood only plays a subtle role - pure Pinot Noir fruit is in the foreground

is not only a real treat

approachable nose – more approachable than Guidalberto 2022 at the moment

and the wine's edgy acidity and slightly dry-edged tannins will need a couple years of bottle aging to harmonize

Henri Gouges, Nuits St Georges Les Pruliers 1er Cru 2014 Caino the use of wood onlyThe deepest crimson of these samples, yet still very light crimson. Meaty, more concentrated nose than the other Gouges 2014s tasted in early 2016. Some real concentration of fruit and discernible spice, bitter cherries and relatively firm tannin. Relatively backward with sandy tannins and real persistence. But still the unforced, delicate new Gouges style. Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson. com (17)
