This is a striking set of 2009s from Gouges. The estate is pursuing a slightly updated style in trying to make the entry-level wines more accessible early on. According to Grégoire Gouges the approach to the higher end wines remains the same, which is to say these remain sturdy Burgundies that benefit immensely from cellaring. The harvest at Gouges began on September 15. The fruit was 100% destemmed. Vinification started with a 3 day cold soak (at only modestly cold temperatures) followed by 10-15 days of cuvaison. The wines were racked after the malos, the lees were removed, and the wines were put back into barrel, where they finished (or were finishing) their élévage. All of the wines were aged in 20% new oak barrels.

According to Gregory Gouges, Pierre's son, who is being groomed to take over winemaking at this estate, the flowering was successful in Nuits-Saint-Georges in 2008, but worse the farther north you went, and then the summer was humid and cold, and botrytis began to take root in mid-August. The north wind of September turned pourri humide to pourri sec, which made it easier to eliminate the affected grapes on the estate's vibrating sorting table. Best of all, the rotten grapes did not explode and contaminate the rest. The drying winds brought better phenolic maturity and sound sugar levels between 11.8% and 12.2%, said Gouges, as well as a better balance between the matiere and acidity. In the winery's new cuverie, there's less pigeage done and longer, cooler fermentations at lower temperature (the maximum temperature for the 2008s was only 28oC. And the wines are no longer pumped. "We're now getting better tannins, and the wines will be less austere at the beginning and need less time to open," added Gouges, who emphasized that there has been "an evolution of style here, but not a major change." Incidentally the estate is completely organic as of 2008. All the 2008s here had been racked just before the 2009 harvest, with most of the malos having finished in mid-July.
