Philippe et Vincent Lecheneaut, Nuits-St-Georges Rouge Les Damodes 1. Cru, 2022

Philippe et Vincent Lecheneaut’s Nuits-St-Georges Les Damodes 1er Cru is a refined Bourgogne Pinot Noir that balances charm, precision, and depth. Made from old vines averaging around 55 years of age, it reflects both the character of a prized premier cru site and the meticulous, hands-on approach of the Lecheneaut family.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a clear, elegant ruby color. The nose opens with fresh red berries, subtle floral notes, and a gentle earthy nuance that adds complexity without overpowering the fruit. On the palate, it is smooth and supple, with a beautifully balanced profile and a juicy core of red fruit. Fine structure and a mineral edge give the wine definition, while its youthful approachability is matched by the promise of greater complexity as it matures over time.

Production
Sourced from Les Damodes in Nuits-St-Georges, the wine comes from complex limestone soils with elements of gravel, clay, and flint, helping to shape its freshness, structure, and mineral tension. The low yields highlight the site’s quality and the artisanal nature of the cuvée, while the old-vine fruit contributes concentration and finesse.

Food & Serving
This is an excellent match for poultry, charcuterie, and lighter meat dishes, especially those with delicate sauces or earthy accompaniments. Serve at around 15–17°C, and consider a short decant if drinking young to allow the aromatics to open fully.
