Henri Gouges Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru

The benchmark Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru; iron-mineral, savoury and structured with dark cherry and dried herbs. Less showy than Gevrey or Chambolle but deeply expressive of the commune's earthy character.

The pour exists; it simply hasn't crossed to your shelf yet.

This look is counted — the gap is the signal that brings it here.
