Drouhin Nuits St Georges Damodes 20 750ml

Producing communes : Nuits-Saint-Georges and Premeaux.

Site: at the heart of the Côte de Nuits, the town of Nuits has its own Hospices, world-renowned vineyards and, of course, ancient traditions.

The Premier Cru Damodes is located in the north part of the Nuits-Saint-Georges vineyard, above the  « Boudots », near Vosne-Romanée, with an east exposure.

History & tradition: the name  « Nuits » may come from  « noyer » (walnut tree), a not very frequent tree in this region. As a matter of fact, the hillsides in Burgundy were covered with oak trees at the time the Romans arrived.
 « Damodes » might evoke a divine feminine trinity protecting earthly fruit.

Soil: on clay mixed with limestone pebbles, this area produces wines of great finesse.
