What’s the Gouges house style that this bottle was supposed to be a good introduction to? Has that style changed in the last few years so that past wisdom about the name is no longer accurate?
2009 Domaine Henri Gouges Bourgogne - France, Burgundy, Bourgogne (7/22/2013)
Really nice burg. Reminds me of an '09 Faiveley Clos des Myglands from a few months ago…a burg fit for a Cali pinot drinker. This is ripe and fairly soft with a palate and nose shading towards darker fruits. Finishes with oomph and tart tannin. When I bought this, the shelf-talker said it was a nice intro to the Gouges house style…completely non-obvious to me from this bottle what that style is. (90 pts.)
