Tasting notes
The 2017 Nuits Saint-Georges Les Damodes 1er Cru comes from shallow soils. It has a lively bouquet of vivacious crushed strawberry and cassis, all neatly integrated with the oak, around 50% new. The medium-bodied palate is linear and correct, offering crisp tannin, firm in grip and a terse, stony finish. Give this two or three years in bottle.

Cask sample. Mid cherry red. Super-fragrant red fruits here, lifted from the glass. Cherries sweet and tangy. Firmish tannins and less scented on the palate. Some oak sweetness evident here but those tannins are already supple even if clearly present. Deep and persistent. (JH)
