Domaine de la Vougeraie Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Damodes 1er Cru 2016
Nuits-Saint-Georges, Côtes de Nuits, Côte d'Or, Burgundy, FranceLes Damodes is a small 0.9 hectare parcel originally planted in 1985/86 with 10,000 vines per hectare, and now farmed organically and biodynamically. From the very good 2016 vintage, this was fermented by indigenous yeasts before aging in French barriques for 16 months (34 percent new) and then being bottled unfined and lightly filtered. It initially shows an attractive flinty, reductive note which opens up to oak spices, strawberry, and earth. Pure and elegant, it's quite perfumed and alluring. This needs some time to come together and to allow the oak to further integrate, but it's already a wow wine.
