WHAT THE ESTATE HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT
Description: Located halfway between Dijon and Beaune, Nuits-Saint-Georges gave its name to the Côte de Nuits. "Les Damodes" is located in the northern part of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation, just south of the Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru appellation. The climate "Les Damodes" is said to be a compound of "Dame". Legend has it that fairies frequented the rocky heights at this location. More likely, it would be the presence of rocks that could be mistaken for ladies in long dresses, "high" ladies whose pronunciation derived into "damaudes" and then "damodes" that would have given its name to this parcel. On shallow limestone soil, the vines are exposed to the east. Elegance and delicacy are the hallmarks of this wine.
