Description
What kind of wine it is
Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes is a still red wine that expresses the authenticity of the French terroir, made from Pinot Noir grapes. In the glass, it appears a bright ruby red with transparent highlights. The bouquet offers notes of red cherry, wild strawberry and rose petals, complemented by delicate spices and a clear mineral imprint. On the palate, it is silky and vertical, driven by fine tannins and a vibrant acidity that leads the tasting towards an elegant persistence. Excellent for accompanying roast poultry, veal, mushroom-based dishes, refined cured meats and medium-aged cheeses, it expresses its aromatic profile best after about an hour of decanting.
Where it comes from
This label originates in Burgundy, within the boundaries of Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru. The vineyards are located in the renowned area of Les Damodes. The stylistic imprint bears the signature of Claire Naudin, who has managed the historic estate founded in 1850 since 1994. Working on twenty-two hectares of vineyards, the winery applies strict principles of sustainable agriculture. Rejecting any industrial standardisation, the company is committed to preserving the most authentic expressions of its plots, enhancing the natural predisposition of the soil and the biodiversity of the surrounding environment.
How it is produced
The cellar process respects the raw material, starting with a meticulous manual harvest carried out in just two plots. The must undergoes a spontaneous fermentation triggered solely by the action of indigenous yeasts. The production cycle is completed by a measured ageing period of fifteen months. This targeted rest is essential to enrich the tactile consistency of the liquid, consolidating a solid structure capable of ensuring longevity of up to twenty-five years.
