then the wine is aged in older barriques for around 9 months

2017 Domaine Henri Gouges Nuit St. Georges 1er Les Chaignots 750Ml Bottle Lavantureux is neatly integratedAs is usually the case, this possesses the spiciest nose in the range and in 2017 is almost Vosne like with its notes of plum, violet, pomegranate, sandalwood and Asian style tea. It is also the most refined wine in the range as the vibrant medium weight flavors exude evident minerality on the chalky, lingering and well balanced finale. If this can add depth with bottle age, it should merit the upper end of my rangeAllen Meadows Burghound
