The 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges Village from Domaine Henri Gouges is a medium-bodied Pinot Noir aged in 25% new oak. It displays bright red berry fruit, light sous-bois (forest floor), and hints of potpourri on the nose. On the palate, it offers sleek, vibrant flavors of red and dark berries with a beguiling mid-palate texture, powdery tannins, and a long, youthfully austere finish. The wine is generous, juicy, and supple, with spicy red fruit notes and a creamy blend of berries.

Food Pairings:

Pairs beautifully with roasted duck breast with cherry reduction, wild mushroom risotto with truffle oil, grilled ribeye with herb butter, coq au vin, or slow-braised poultry. Mushrooms in general complement this wine well.

Critics Review:

Wine Spectator (91 points): “Black cherry and blackberry flavors are framed with sweet, spicy oak in this supple, juicy red. Balanced, with a line of tannins that adds a sense of structure.”

• Vinous (90 points): “Good volume and intensity on the nose, lots of red fruits with a chalky frame and a touch of oak. It’s generous, juicy and supple, with a spicy red fruit and a creamy blend of blue, black and red berries.”
• Revue du Vin de France (92 points); Burghound (93 points).

Drink Window:  2025–2035. Best enjoyed from 2025 through 2032 for optimal freshness and development.
