Nuits-Saint-Georges “Les Damodes” 2011

From the prestigious vineyards of the Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges “Les Damodes” 2011 by Domaine Faiveley showcases all the finesse and structure of Burgundy’s finest Pinot Noirs.

Located on a hillside vineyard partly at higher elevation, on the border with Vosne-Romanée, the Les Damodes climat produces wines that are more elegant and refined than the more powerful style typically associated with the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The 2011 vintage offers an already open and expressive profile, with beautifully ripe fruit and excellent balance.

The nose reveals aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, complemented by floral notes, undergrowth, and a subtle hint of spice. With age, more tertiary nuances of fine leather and black tea emerge.

On the palate, the attack is supple and precise. The wine retains a linear structure, supported by fine tannins and the vibrant freshness that is characteristic of northern Burgundy. The finish is harmonious, with red fruit flavours and delicate earthy notes.

A refined Nuits-Saint-Georges that combines accessibility with complexity, showing a beautifully evolved aromatic profile while retaining excellent elegance.
