Note di degustazione
The 2012 Nuits Saint Georges Les Saint-Georges 1er Cru has a very charming, beautifully defined bouquet with fresh red cherry, crushed strawberry and pressed flower aromas. There is something joyful about these aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins. This is very cohesive and poised, a mixture of red and black fruit towards the finish with subtle hints of tobacco and a dash of black pepper on the persistent aftertaste. Excellent. Tasted at the Gouges retrospective at La Cabotte.

Tasted blind at Flint Wines’ 2007/2012 Nuits Saint-Georges tasting in London. The 2012 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Saint-Georges from Gouges has a rather funky nose with some volatile acidity marring the detail and delineation. The palate is fresh on the entry with chunky red berry fruit, cranberry and pomegranate, nicely structured towards the finish with commendable tension. With time in the glass, the aromatics improve and that volatile acidity seems to blow away and leave you with a quite delicious, very satisfying Les Saint-Georges. Tasted November 2016.
Tasted blind. Deep garnet – glows with health. Something rather gamey on the nose. We do seem to be starting to take on more serious aromas at this point. Still very chewy on the end, but serious stuff. (JR)
Tasted blind at the annual "Burgfest" tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les St Georges from Henri Gouges was showing a fair amount of wood on the nose that at the moment occludes the terroir expression. There is a touch of the old "Wellington boot" here. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline opening, quite stocky in the mouth and assertive, the tannins a bit rough 'n ready on the finish. It feels a little "forced" at the moment, especially compared next to their divine NSG Vaucrains 2012.
