Tasting Notes

Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes unwinds in the glass with a youthfully introverted bouquet of dark berry fruit, plums, spices and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, deep and introverted, it's nicely concentrated, with succulent acids and a youthfully chewy finish. Much as it was from barrel, this is one of the shier wines in the cellar.
Revisited from bottle, the 2022 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes unwinds in the glass with a youthfully introverted bouquet of dark berry fruit, plums, spices and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, deep and introverted, it's nicely concentrated, with succulent acids and a youthfully chewy finish. Much as it was from barrel, this is one of the shier wines in the cellar.
Nose shows dark plum, black cherry, and a firm mineral edge typical of Nuits. Palate is structured and sinewy, with grippy tannin and fresh acidity from the cool 2021 season. Finish is long, savoury, and slightly rustic.
Perfumed red cherry and violet lift from the glass, with a savoury undertow of dark spice. The palate is silky yet firm, red fruit threaded through fine, chalky tannin, closing long and mineral, with the poise expected of a Nuits-Saint-Georges premier cru.
Black cherry, bramble and a savoury, earthy edge define the nose. The palate is firm and structured, dark fruit framed by grippy tannin and a peppery, mineral finish typical of Les Damodes' sterner Nuits-Saint-Georges character.

The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.
