Philippe et Vincent Lecheneaut, Nuits-St-Georges Rouge Les Damodes 1. Cru, 2021

Philippe et Vincent Lecheneaut’s Nuits-St-Georges Rouge Les Damodes 1. Cru is a classic and charming Burgundy Pinot Noir, drawn from old vines with an average age of around 55 years. That maturity brings extra concentration and depth, while the vineyard’s premier cru pedigree gives the wine its refined structure and distinctive sense of place.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine shows a clear, elegant appearance. The nose opens with fresh red berries, delicate floral nuances, and a subtle earthy note that adds complexity without overpowering the fruit. On the palate, it is soft, supple, and beautifully balanced, with a fine backbone of structure and a juicy, red-fruited profile. The finish is graceful and lingering, and while the wine is already approachable in its youth, it has the ability to gain even more nuance and personality with a few years of cellar time.

Production
The wine comes from complex limestone soils with elements of gravel, clay, and flint, a combination that contributes freshness, structure, and a distinct mineral edge. Yields are kept very low, reinforcing the wine’s artisanal character and concentration, while the old vines help preserve depth and balance in the final blend.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile Burgundy for dishes where finesse matters most. It pairs especially well with poultry, charcuterie, and lighter meat dishes, and is best served slightly cool at around 15–17°C. Decanting is not essential, but a short airing can help the aromas open up, particularly in its younger years.
