Tasted blind at Flint Wines’ 2007/2012 Nuits Saint-Georges tasting in London. The 2007 Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains from Henri Gouges has a mature, open bouquet that feels slightly oxidized. The palate is better with good weight in the mouth, chewy tannin and plenty of spice-tinged dark fruit. What it is missing is a sense of energy and brightness, a lack of tension on the finish that would have urged you back for another sip. I have tasted many superior bottles from this domaine and from this producer. Drink soon. Tasted November 2016.
