I had already received the strong impression that 2006 was particularly successful in Nuits-Saint-Georges, as this village largely avoided hail, the fruit ripened well, and the tannins avoided the hardness that so much wine from this appellation can display even in successful years. Christian Gouges agreed with this assessment, noting that "even the tannins on the south side of the town are rounder than usual." Thanks to the smooth tannins, stable colors and healthy grapes, Gouges hoped to bottle his wines without fining or filtration. He expressed the opinion that the 2006s have all the elements for long aging in bottle. The premier crus here had virtually no botrytis, thanks to the cover crop that soaks up excess moisture in the ground. Potential alcohol levels were in the 12.5% range, and the crus were not chaptalized. (Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL)

Christian Gouges did what he described as "a very simple vinification" in 2005 because he didn't want to impose technology or technique on what he said were perfect grapes. He did a short pre-fermentation cool maceration, then punched down the cap three times a day until fermentation temperature reached its peak of 32o. Total cuvaison times were no more than 15 days, and the result, he said, was wines with "an intensity of tannins but not an austerity." Gouges now suggests cellaring his wines for eight to ten years regardless of the vintage. "At the beginning, I said that the 1988s would decline early, but they're still closed and young," he told me. "Since then I'm much more humble about making predictions."
