Domaine Henri Gouges
Domaine Henri Gouges is a legendary, family-run estate in Nuits-Saint-Georges, founded around 1919 by Henri Gouges, a pioneer of domaine bottling and a key architect of Burgundy's AOC system. The estate farms roughly 14 hectares across ten AOC parcels, including seven Premier Crus and the family monopole Clos des Porrets Saint-Georges. Henri Gouges is also credited with discovering 'Pinot Gouges', a rare white-berried mutation of Pinot Noir still vinified today. Now guided by the third and fourth generations with an increasing focus on organic viticulture, the domaine produces structured, terroir-driven Pinot Noir renowned for its longevity and classic Nuits-Saint-Georges character.
