Henri Gouges

Henri Gouges

Henri Gouges inherited 9 hectares of prime Nuits-St-Georges  vineyards just after the First World War, and expanded his holdings  significantly between 1920-1934. Henri strongly believed in low  yield, and was obsessed controlling the yields. This philosophy  was passed to the current generation running the domaine, and  Domaine Henri Gouges is ever since famous for making  consistently great wines as well for its innovations. The 1er crus  include some of the very best vineyards in Nuits-St-Georges,  namely Les Chaignots, Chene Carteau, Les Pruliers, the monopole  vineyard of Clos des Porrets-st-Georges, and full hectare of each  of the appellation’s most famous vineyards – Les Vaucrains and  Les Saint Georges. This great domaine is one of the very finest the  whole Côte d’Or!
