Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru - Damodes 2020

At the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the town of Nuits has its own Hospices, world-renowned vineyards and, of course, ancient traditions.
The Premier Cru Damodes is located in the north part of the Nuits-Saint-Georges vineyard, above the "Boudots", near Vosne-Romanée, with an east exposure.

The name "Nuits" may come from "noyer" (walnut tree), a not very frequent tree in this region. As a matter of fact, the hillsides in Burgundy were covered with oak trees at the time the Romans arrived.

"Damodes" might evoke a divine feminine trinity protecting earthly fruit.

The Nuits-Saint-Georges Damodes displays a beautiful deep dark ruby colour and aromas of red fruit and spices.

It is generous ont the palate, evolving towards smooth tannins.
Very good ageing potential".
