Domaine Arnelle et Bernard Rion Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes 2016 French Red Burgundy Wine 750ml (Copy)

From the Importer

Our tasting impressions Another outstanding Les Damodes from the Rions. It is a splendid vineyard and their transparent winemaking really shows it well. Given the openness of this vintage, it is rather drinkable now, though time will be an ally (particularly for the magnum). We love the earthy charm of this wine and expect you will as well.

About this wine Les Damodes might refer to the Druidesses who inhabited the area or the feminine trinity presiding over the good of the earth.

The east-facing, sloping Pinot Noir vineyard planted in limestone 40 years ago, borders Vosne-Romanée. Full berries are fermented in cement tanks for about 2 weeks.  The wine ages 15 months in oak barrels – 60% new.
