It’s no surprise either as I first discovered Gouges along with the world of fine dining and Saturday night burgundies at Jean Georges in the mid ‘90s. The economy was flying at the time and there was no place in the city where the truly epic, standard-bearing wines of the world flew off the list with more regularity.
For Jean-Georges and his wine team, the wines of Domaine Henri Gouges were held in similar esteem with the superstars of the wine world, DRC, Latour, Dom, you name it. For red Burgundy, and specifically, Nuits-Saint Georges, nothing sold quite like the pristinely cellared, wildly complex wines of Henri Gouges
Many years later, not much has changed in terms of the demand and respect of Domaine Gouges for Burgundy collectors and critics alike. If anything, the wines are better. Current proprietor and winemaker, Grégory Gouges, Henri’s great-great grandson, has amazingly raised the bar, farming organically, reducing yields, and employing a more rigorous selection of grapes. The resulting wines are finer and more supple than I remember from my Jean-Georges days, yet maintain the length and sheer energy that make them long-haul Burgundies, delicious this Saturday night and every other for next two decades.

94 Points, Jasper Morris/Inside Burgundy
Dense but lively purple, a little bit reductive, having not yet been racked at any stage. Sweet rich ripe fruit but not cooked here, just ultra-lush, with good acidity. Nicely balanced, with even some elegance, I really enjoy the finish here, with a welcome strictness. Very promising.
93 Points, Wine Spectator
Graphite, black cherry, blackberry and baking spices are the hallmarks of this opulent red, which is backed by a spine of dusty tannins that leave a tactile feel on the long finish. Best from 2024 through 2040.
92 Points, Burghound
Firm reduction blocks an evaluation of the nose today though the underlying fruit does seem ripe. There is excellent vibrancy to the subtly mineral-driven larger-scaled flavors that possess better depth and persistence on the muscular, serious and youthfully austere finale. This is very Nuits in character without being overly rustic.

94 Points, Tasting Panel
This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.

92 Points, Wine Spectator – 91 Points, James Suckling
“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
