Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
One of the Nuits’ most northerly climats, Les Damodes sits on the high slopes adjoining Vosne Romanée and alongside the highly esteemed Premier Cru Malconsorts. The stony soils and raised altitude of this vineyard, which is 250m above sea level, make themselves known through bright cranberry and raspberry toned fruit, vibrant acidity and quivering tension in the mid-palate. Although vibrant and fresh, the wine has silky tannins and enough breadth to support gentle cellar ageing.
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.
