White Wine: 2020 | Henri Gouges | Bourgogne Pinot Blanc

The 2020 Bourgogne Blanc has a fragrant nose with honeysuckle and grapefruit scents. The palate is rounded on the entry, a little low in acidity but there is a nice touch of ginger on the tropical-themed finish. Early-drinking fare.

Reviews:

• Vinous: The 2020 Bourgogne Blanc has a fragrant nose with honeysuckle and grapefruit scents. The palate is rounded on the entry, a little low in acidity but there is a nice touch of ginger on the tropical-themed finish. Early-drinking fare.

• Burghound: A perfumed and slightly exotic nose of mostly white orchard fruit has an odd hint of something akin to fabric softener. The very rich, even opulent, flavors are supported by bright acidity while displaying good length on the bone-dry finale. The nose is odd but not unpleasant though I can’t say it appealed to me.

Producer Information

Domaine Henri Gouges is a highly regarded producer in the Burgundy commune of Nuits-Saint-Georges with holdings in a number of its premier cru vineyards. It makes mostly red wine from Pinot Noir, the dominant variety of the region. Though holding no land in grand cru sites, the premier crus of the domaine and the wider Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation are considered to be some of the finest in the Cte de Nuits, the most renowned being Les Saint-Georges.The domaine was founded in 1919 by Henri Gouges and continues to be owned and operated by the family, which dates its history back several generations earlier than the eponymous estate. Gouges was a prominent figure, who made several notable contributions to the region.He was among the first producers to eschew the Burgundy ngociant system that was often viewed as corrupt. Instead, in the 1920s, Gouges championed estate bottling, an uncommon practice at the time.
