Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits-St-Georges 2018

A lovely, brilliant crimson color. A very earthy Nuits nose with some vanilla bean, too. On the palate, smoky, velvet-textured fruit without any tannin, but acids take their place, so the wine is nicely balanced.

Not heavy, but a very elegant Pinot expression at the end. Best from 2023 through 2035.
