Nuits St Georges Les Vaucrains Henri Gouges 2017 (750ML)

91-93 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Vaucrains 1er Cru has a lovely, intense bouquet that combines blue and black fruit, crushed violet petals and incense. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, showing a little more cohesion than the Les Pruliers, if not quite the same mineral drive as Domaine Chevillon's. Still, there is decent length and depth to this Les Vaucrains, though it will need several years in bottle." 1/19

91-93 Points, Allen Meadows' Burghoung: "Slightly riper aromas of plum liqueur, violet, warm earth and plenty of sauvage character lead to intense and notably dense broad-shouldered flavors that display first-rate power on the serious and youthfully austere finish. This is a big wine in the context of what is typical for the 2017 vintage and should age effortlessly." 1/19
