Description
A monopole bottling from one of Nuits-Saint-Georges’ most traditional domaines, the 2017 Clos Fontaine de la Jacquinot from Henri Gouges offers structure, minerality, and a touch of wild charm. This seldom-seen lieu-dit sits just below the Premier Cru zone and delivers a classic Gouges expression: firm red cherry, crushed rock, dried herbs, and a whisper of game. The 2017 vintage brought freshness and approachability, and in magnum, this wine shows both lift and longevity. Neal Martin described Gouges’ 2017s as “more supple and transparent than usual,” while Jasper Morris praised their “subtle precision and restraint”. This is old-school NSG built for the long haul. Drink 2026–2038, or now with a long decant.
