Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru, “Les Damodes”
SKU CNND
Positioned on a brown-colored mix of limestone and marl, the Damodes speaks with more finesse, a suppleness that makes this cuvée the most precocious of the premier crus of the domaine; there is lots of punch to the wine but it is enrobed by the “velvet glove” of more gentle and silky tannins.
About Jean Chauvenet
The wines of Nuits-Saint-Georges are not soft in their youth, but that is the true character of the terroir: robust tannins, dark fruit, and a mineral infusion from the iron-inflected soils that, taken together, can only come from this singular district.
