Premier Cru
NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES
Les Damodes
2016

There are two origins in the name of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The first comes from "Nux" which means "Nuts" in Latin or the "Nuithon" a barbarian tribe associated Burgundians. In 1680, Louis XIV with digestive disorders is advised by his doctor to drink a glass of Nuits-Saint-Georges every day. The appellation covers 175 hectares and produces structured wines for aging. "Les Damodes" come from the feminine trinity presiding over the good of the earth or perhaps established druids in this place.

This parcel is located north of the appellation between Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges. The vines are planted on a soil rich in hard limestone. "Les Damodes" are the northernmost climate, touching Vosne-Romanée.

This wine will ideally accompany a leg of lamb or veal rognots.
