Jancis Robinson – Spring 2021 : 16,5++/20
Nuits StGeorges 1er Cru Les Damodes 2018
Certified Haute Valeur Environnementale. From a 0-42-ha vineyard of 40-year-old vines on an east-facing slope. Hand-picked, destemmed and fermented in a cement tank for two weeks. Daily manual punchdown. Aged for 15 months in oak barrels, 60% new.
Smells like fresh, super-sweet vine tomatoes, crushed green tobacco leaf, scorched plum skins. Chewy and stalky when first opened, it blossomed on the second day. A little darker in fruit than their other 2018s, damson skin, elderberry, sloe, with a smudge of sweet raspberry that gives the tense, kohl-shadowed palate a more gentle finish, a little tenderness. The beauty is all there. Just give it space. And time. (TC) 2024-2030
