Nuits St Georges 1er cru Les Damodes 2006 - Remoriquet

Henri & Gilles Remoriquet 

The Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Rue de Chaux” from Domaine Henri et Gilles Remoriquet is a wine of character from a historic plot nestled in the heart of the southern part of the appellation, very close to the village. This terroir rests on stony, clay-limestone soil, which gives the Pinot Noir a particularly assertive and profound identity. On the nose, this cuvée is distinguished by its power and aromatic complexity: it opens with a wild bouquet of cherry jam and black berries, enhanced by sanguine notes, black pepper, and subtle woody nuances resulting from careful aging.

On the palate, this Premier Cru expresses all the nobility and virility of the southern Nuits-Saint-Georges terroirs, while displaying masterful balance. Its dense, rich, and concentrated texture is structured by velvety and extremely silky tannins that coat the palate without any harshness. The long, lingering finish subtly lingers the fruit. This is a great wine for aging which, after a few years in the cellar (ideally 7 to 15 years), will fully blossom to accompany flavorful dishes, such as braised beef, haunch of venison, or spiced duck.
