Domaine Henri Gouges La Perriere Blanc, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, France 2022

Just like our Bourgogne Blanc, this white wine comes 100% from the Pinot Blanc cépage, called “Pinot Gouges”. This grape, stemmed from the Pinot Noir, was discovered by Henri Gouges, founder of the estate, during an inspection of his vines. The La Perrière cru is produced, as its name implies, in an old stone quarry. We find here very rocky and chalky soils. This unique cru, as a result of its cépage and low production (41 ares), offers intense, complex and unusual wines. This wine is as confidential as fascinating.
