Goedhuis, December 2022
One of Nuits’ most northerly climats, on the high slopes adjoining Vosne Romanée, Les Damodes offers a superb contrast to the more muscular Les St Georges. Maraschino cherry and cranberry, bright, pure and racy, the sweetness of fruit is a perfect foil for tensile mineral drive. This is full of energy and life.

Neal Martin, January 2023, Score: 90-92
The 2021 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Damodes 1er Cru showed just a little reduction on the nose. This does not occlude the florality that ekes out with aeration (unsurprising given its location on the Vosne border). The palate is medium-bodied with quite racy tannins, a citrus-fresh Damodes, linear and maybe a little lean towards the finish but persistent in the mouth. Give it a couple of years in bottle. Drink 2025-2040.

Burghound, January 2023, Score: 89-92
There is enough wood framing the spicy and mildly exotic aromas of tea, orange peel and both red and dark pinot fruit. I very much like the texture and energy of the medium weight flavors that offer good length if only average depth at present though more should develop with a few years of keeping. Drink 2029+

Jasper Morris MW, November 2022, Score: 90-93
A notably brighter colour, closer to purple, with the fruit much more present. Robust raspberry, slightly fresher redcurrants too, correct fruit acid balance and the oak not too prominent. Good depth behind. Drink from 2027-2033.
Region
Nuits Saint Georges
The second largest town after Beaune, Nuits St. Georges is known for ample wines that have textured tannins and rich fruit. Unlike other famous Côte de Nuits villages, it has no Grand Crus but does have a handful of exceptional premier cru vineyards such as Clos de l'Arlot, Les Pruliers and AuxMurgers. Its wines can be occasionally rustic, and this sets them apart from many of the more northern appellations as well as from the neighbouring Côte de Beaune whose wines (apart from Pommard) tend to be less structured and more fruit forward. This is no doubt due to a slightly increased presence of clay especially on the Primeaux-Prissey area of the appellation. Notable producers include Domaine de l'Arlot, Jean Grivot and Meo-Camuzet.
