Came across this 2001 Premier Cru red Burgundy, for some reason the price of the 2001 is 30% lower than the actual 2007 that can be found in the shop.
Henri Gouges is an unknown producer to me as well as the premier cru plot "Les Pruliers". The plot is around 7 hectares big which is one of the biggest in Nuits St George. According to Jasper Morris Gouges is one of the best producers as well.
Anyway, the nose was typical Burgundy with dark berries, flowers and a touch of oak. Quite a solid long taste with perhaps a bit acidic aftertaste (at least if compared to Patrice Rion). A Burgundy that is crying for food and not to be drunk alone.
Nuits St George 1er cru "les Pruliers" 2001 (Henri Gouges), P, good but not brilliant
Medium price range 380 for 2001, later years at high price range 550.
