Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits-Saint-George 1er Cailles 2020: A Burgundian Masterclass

Helena Kosta — Proper Burgundy

8/10

Had this at a restaurant and liked it so much I tracked down a bottle for home. Really earthy and complex with that forest floor thing going on underneath the fruit. Pinot Noir done right basically. Decant it for an hour though, it needs the air.

Thomas Weber — Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

My wife got me this for my 40th and wow, what a bottle. The dark fruit flavours are incredible — like really rich bramble and plum. Tannins are smooth as anything and the finish just keeps going. At £95 it's not an everyday wine but for a special occasion it's absolutely spot on.

Hannah Brooks — This is what Burgundy is about

9/10

I've been slowly getting into Burgundy over the past year and this is probably the best bottle I've had so far. The fruit is dark and brooding but there's this lovely mineral edge underneath that keeps it interesting. Served it at a dinner party and everyone commented on it.
