The term "Les Damodes" makes reference to the Druidesses who previously inhabited the area. These vines are planted at high altitude, bordering Vosne-Romanée, and produce a mineral wine with very delicate tannins. A smooth and very feminine wine!
95 Points - James Suckling
A stunning 2021 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru with wonderful perfume and silkiness, the considerable power underplayed on the concentrated mid-palate, the finish long and delicately mineral. Spot on balance of fruit and restrained oak. Very long finish.
90-92 Points - Vinous
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
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.
