The 2019 Claire Naudin Nuits Saint Georges Les Damodes 1er Cru is a testament to Claire Naudin's philosophy of sustainable and traditional winemaking, shunning standardization. This Premier Cru hails from a steep vineyard with exposed limestone bedrock, featuring 50-80 year old east-facing vines located remarkably close to La Tâche. The winemaking involves whole-cluster fermentation, aging on fine lees, and bottling by gravity, unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfur, resulting in a pure expression of Pinot Noir. 【Less than 100 cases are made per year, making it a rare find.】 In the glass, this wine presents a brilliant ruby red hue. The nose is captivating with notes of red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petals, delicate spices, and a distinct mineral character. On the palate, it is silky, precise, and vertical, showcasing fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, elegantly savory finish. Some tasters also find hints of purple and black fruit, with a rustic tension. 🍴 Food Pairing: This versatile red Burgundy pairs beautifully with poultry, veal, and various mushroom dishes, especially those with morel or truffle, which will highlight its earthy and mineral undertones. It's also an excellent match for roast meats and a selection of semi-soft and hard cheeses. 🥂 Fit for Event: This sophisticated and authentic expression of Burgundy Pinot Noir is perfect for connoisseurs seeking a unique and artisanal wine. It's an ideal choice for intimate dinners, special celebrations, or a cozy evening by the fireplace with a hearty roast.
