Louis Max Les Damodes, Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru, France 2013

Description

Louis Max Les Damodes 2013 is a Premier Cru Pinot Noir from the northern sector of Nuits Saint Georges, near the border of Vosne Romanee. Les Damodes is known for producing wines that combine the structure of Nuits with a touch of aromatic elegance and finesse.

The 2013 vintage in Burgundy was cooler and more classic in style, resulting in wines with bright acidity and firm structure. With time in bottle, this wine has evolved into a beautifully expressive example, offering aromas of dried cherry, wild raspberry and rose petal layered with earthy undertones, spice and subtle leather. The palate is medium to full bodied with refined tannins, lifted acidity and a long, savory finish.

Now in a graceful drinking window, it pairs wonderfully with duck, lamb, mushroom dishes or aged cheeses. Decant briefly to allow its complexity to fully unfold.
