2006 Domaine Henri Gouges Les Saint Georges
The four vintages tasted from this vineyard all had
significant tannins and were hard to cozy up to without food. Bright blackberry fruit aromas with a plush
fruit core accented with tar, earth and coffee and an endless finish. Currently the tannins overwhelm the
fruit.

citric peel on the finish.

2002 Domaine Henri Gouges Les Vaucrains
A “linebacker” of a wine that is typically austere in its
youth. A rustic wine with full and flashy aromas, including some forest floor and savage, sporting
plentiful tannins and a citrus kick on the lively finish.
Reviewed April 18, 2009

2001 Domaine Henri Gouges Les Saint Georges
Dark stone fruits and blackberries with flamboyant
tannins and lively acidity on the long finish featuring aromatic grapefruit peel.

1993 Domaine Henri Gouges Les Saint Georges
Similar to the 2001 vintage but a little more mellow

forefront.

1970 Domaine Henri Gouges Les Pruliers

brioche with no noticeable tannins and lively acidity on the finish.
