2024 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains, Domaine Henri Gouges

With such low yields it is hardly a great surprise that this is completely shut down and dense. Having spent much of its career playing second fiddle to its close neighbour (Les Saint-Georges), the Gouges Vaucrains has been on fire over the last decade with a string of superlative vintages, and although it’s hard to be sure at this stage given the intensely backward nature of this wine right now, experience suggests it could one day be a cracker.
