The Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru “Les Damodes” from the Boigey estate comes from a plot located at the northern end of the appellation, directly bordering Vosne-Romanée. Slightly elevated, this climat enjoys ideal exposure, promoting uniform ripening of the grapes while preserving remarkable natural freshness, the hallmark of this sought-after terroir in the Côte de Nuits.
The soil, mainly composed of sand mixed with numerous pebbles, is particularly well-drained. This type of soil limits the vigor of the vines and allows for natural concentration of the berries, while bringing finesse, tension, and aromatic precision to the wine. The Boigey estate cultivates 0.68 hectares of this premier cru, with Pinot Noir vines aged around 40 years, guaranteeing moderate yields and a faithful expression of the terroir.
The vinification process highlights the elegance of the climate, with 15 to 16 months of aging in oak barrels, 30% of which are new, providing structure and depth without overpowering the fruit. On tasting, the wine seduces with its balance between the freshness of a Vosne-Romanée and the structure of a Nuits-Saint-Georges. The palate is lively and precise, carried by fine tannins, beautiful salinity, and a persistent finish.
Accessible in its youth, this Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru “Les Damodes” from the Boigey estate will reveal its full complexity after 3 to 8 years of aging. Produced at a rate of around 1,700 bottles per year, it is aimed at lovers of great Burgundy Pinot Noirs, elegant and distinguished.
