I was a bit surprised by the wines I tasted with Grégoire Gouges. Over the last few years Gouges has worked to make some of his entry-level offerings more accessible, but I noted that quality across the board in the 2010s, which is quite out of character not only for the house, but for virtually all 2010s from important sites. Of course the wines are still mostly in barrel. It will be interesting to see the direction the 2010s take over the next year. The 2010s were made from 100% destemmed fruit and aged in French oak barrels, 20% new. The malos were slow in 2010, and finished in June. The wines were racked for the first time in August. Except as noted, I tasted the 2010s from barrel. Gouges made the decision to move some of his wines into tank in order to preserve freshness.

"More chewy and ample than the 2008s," said Gregory Gouges about his estate's young 2010s, "with enough phenolic maturity." Only one cuvee of village wine needed chaptalization, he added. In recent years, the Gouges family has been working more by gravity and has eliminated pumping of the must at harvest-time. With their totally adjustable pneumatic press, they're able to destem 100% without crushing the seeds or skins. Being able to vinify with a high percentage of whole grapes has given us suppler tannins, noted Gregory. "We still make structured wines, but now they're a bit less forbidding." The 2010s had been racked in August. (Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL)
