Paul Chavy Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Damodes Premier Cru 2022

Paul Chavy Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Damodes is a premier cru from the northern end of the commune, on the boundary with Vosne-Romanée.

Nuits-Saint-Georges divides into two halves either side of the town, and the northern sector towards Vosne-Romanée gives the more perfumed and supple wines, in contrast to the dense, tannic reds of the southern climats around Les Saint-Georges. Les Damodes sits at the top of that northern slope, high above the road on thin, stony soil over limestone, with a cooler aspect than the crus below it. The result is a Nuits with unusual lift and finesse, red fruited and floral with fine-grained tannin, while keeping the commune's savoury, earthy signature. Pinot Noir from here is typically destemmed or given a portion of whole bunches and aged in oak barrel with a moderate share of new wood.

Perfumed but firm, it suits duck, game birds and mushroom dishes; serve at around 16 degrees.
