We stopped by at a little bistro called, Le Beffroi. I had Salade de Mache with poached eggs and bacon. There were 3 hot poached eggs on a mount of greens! Pretty dynamic.

From the town of Nuits-Saint-George, we walked to Henri Gouges, where we had an appointment with. Pierre Gouges was waiting to host a tasting for us. He is a brother of my friend, Francoise. It was so nice to meet him for the first time.

Pierre kindly gave us a tour of the winery facility, which was rebuilt in 2007. They now have impressive modern equipments with temperature control. But, the wine-making process itself is very natural.

It was great that we could taste different crus of NSG back to back and see all the character differences. These wines showed both power and finesse.
