Tasting notes
The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Chaignots 1er Cru has a tightly wound, quite broody bouquet at the moment, touches of black currant pastilles, crushed violet and chalk emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, quite linear and strict and very classic in style - quintessential Gouges! It just needs a little more flesh to develop on the finish. Fine.

As is usually the case, this possesses the spiciest nose in the range and in 2017 is almost Vosne-like with its notes of plum, violet, pomegranate, sandalwood and Asian-style tea. It is also the most refined wine in the range as the vibrant medium weight flavors exude evident minerality on the chalky, lingering and well-balanced finale. If this can add depth with bottle age, it should merit the upper end of my range
