Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru "Les Damodes"
Perched on the border of Vosne-Romanée, ’Les Damodes’ thrives defying altitude on marly soil. Lying above Les Boudots and adjacent to Vosne Malconsorts, it shares the same characteristics as Echezeaux and Cazetiers, with a shallow, hard, compact, sandy-clay soil that is sometimes subject to drought. This hugely benefits the grapes, infusing them with a unique minerality. To wit, this terroir produces a low tannin, silky wine with a distinctive feminine elegance. Expressive aromas of black fruits and spices come through along with subtle hints of toast and roasting. It is very fresh and lively on the palate.
Domaine Faiveley
Based in Nuits-Saint-Georges and founded in 1825, Faiveley is one of the largest and most illustrious domaines in Burgundy. Many of Faiveley’s top wines are hand bottled with no filtration. This in turn results in clean, opulent wines that often show Pinot Noir at its best. Their concentration and richness are rarely equalled. In recent years there has been a notable expansion of vineyards under Faiveley’s control, particularly designed to augment the Domaine’s white wine offerings in the Côte de Beaune.
