Tasted blind at the Burgundy 2011 horizontal tasting in Beaune. There is a slight mustiness on the nose of Gouges’s Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru Clos des Porrets ‘11, with plenty of sous-bois notes coming through in lieu of fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins. There is a pastille-like quality on the entry with touches of spice and black pepper toward the sappy finish. It just seems to be missing a little substance on the finish. Gregory Gouges oversaw some better crus in this vintage.
