With the grandsons of the founder, Pierre and Christian Gouges, taking a back seat, Grégory Gouges, fourth generation, is now running the show with his younger cousin Antoine.

Domaine Henri Gouges produces, in our opinion, deliciously intense wines, whose tannins are much more subtle than in former years.

Grégory puts down this softening not only to better vineyard work, but also to employing gravity rather than pumping the wines around the smart new winery.

From the yard there are fine views up to a patchwork of terraced vines above the town.
From deep red soils just south of the town, this is proper Nuits-St-Georges: dark, masculine and brooding!

When drunk young it certainly needs decanting but is certainly gloriously complex with a good few years of bottle age.

Best matched with, Pan-roasted goose breast with roast swede and chestnuts and leek and cranberry sauce
