Allen Meadows 89-91 Points!
The Nuits-Saint-Georges "Les Damodes" 2008 is a Ruby colour with darker tints. On the palate, good liveliness brings out the fruit already sensed on the nose. This powerful wines strikes a fine balance between aromas and tannins and should evolve with time.
The hand-picked harvest goes through a short prefermentary maceration before being vinified. For the duration of the 18-20 day vatting period, the wine is kept at a low temperature.
It is then matured in oak barrels for 14-16 months in nineteenth century vaulted cellars which provide ideal conditions for raising wines. The proportion of new oak, which is suscpetible to variations according to the vintage, represents on average two thirds of the cuvee. The barrels come from high-quality barrel makers and have been rigorously selected for their fine grain and light toast.
