2022 Domaine Chantal Lescure, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru "Les Damodes," Burgundy - 750ML

Perched on the higher slopes just north of the village, Les Damodes is one of the more elegant Premier Cru sites of Nuits-Saint-Georges, known for its limestone soils and naturally lifted expression of Pinot Noir. Domaine Chantal Lescure, long committed to organic farming, captures the clarity and balance of the excellent 2022 Burgundy vintage with a wine that combines ripe fruit, freshness, and classic Côte de Nuits structure.

Blend: Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes: The nose opens with violet, red cherry, black raspberry, and wild strawberry layered with subtle spice and a faint mineral lift. The palate is vibrant and finely detailed, showing ripe red and black fruit framed by bright acidity and polished tannins, finishing with persistent floral and stony notes characteristic of this elevated vineyard site.
Structure: Elegant and mineral-driven with fine tannins and vibrant energy.
Drink Window: 2028–2038

Decanting: When young, decant for 60–90 minutes to allow the aromatics and structure to fully open. With additional bottle age, a brief splash decant is sufficient.

Expressive, polished, and terroir-driven, Les Damodes consistently delivers one of the more refined styles of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The 2022 vintage offers both early appeal and the structure to evolve beautifully in the cellar over the coming decade.
