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.

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.
