We have an excellent premier cru today from Gouges, the Porrets St. Georges, which is one of the best buys of the vintage for 1er Cru Red Burgundy, and we actually have the lowest price on this wine we have seen in over five vintages. Gouges is among the top producers in Nuits—St. Georges, right with Robert Chevillon and The Clos de Porret St. Georges, is a Monopole of the Gouges Domaine located just below the premier cru Les Perrieres and was once an ancient pink limestone quarry. The wines from this vineyard show a lot of finesse and complexity, and it is one of the more underrated premier cru sites of NSG. 2022 is a fine example that has the potential to be one of the best here ever and is an excellent buy for the category in today's market.
Vinous (Neil Martin) 92-94 points! "The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Clos des Porrets-Saint-Georges 1er Cru had been racked the previous week, but it was essentially the final wine I tasted as it was just about to be bottled. It has a stricter and more backward bouquet than the Chênes Carteaux: blackberry and wild strawberry fruit, the 20% new oak neatly folded in. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannins, leaning more towards black fruit laced with tar and tobacco. Quite Morey-like towards the finish with impressive persistence. Give this two or three years in bottle to shave the edges. Very fine."
Jasper Morris MW (Inside Burgundy) 91-94 points! "Racked, to bottle in December. 35 hl/ha. A darker purple, just a little oak showing on the nose alongside the dark raspberry fruit. The grain of tannin is very good, and ideally integrated, with just the right acidity as well."
