    I opened a 2008 Henri Gouges Nuit St Georges "Les Chaignots" to go with
    a simple roast chicken steamed steamed potatoes and broccoli.
    His wines are usually "big" needing quite a number years before
    drinking. However, this one surprised me. It was very light and delicate
    with faint cherry aromas and none of the beefy overtones that I usually experience with his wines. In fact I thought it was more Cotes de Beaune
    than C de Nuits.
    I have another bottle that I'll open in the next couple of months.

    I think the son took over circa 2007? and have heard more approachable.
    But positive things from folks I trust.
    Thanks for notes, look forward to your revisit\
