FEATURES
The 2014 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes from Lechenaut (also known as Fernand Lécheneaut et Fils or Philippe et Vincent Lécheneaut) is a delightful expression from a vintage that produced "delicious terroir-driven mid-weights" in Burgundy. This wine hails from a "first-class vineyard" with 55-year-old vines, rooted in brown calcareous soil with fine gravel and silt-like clay, ensuring excellent drainage and breathability while retaining moderate water. The wine offers a bouquet of red and black cherry with intense, meaty spice, complemented by sweet and sour notes of fresh red berries. Complex elements like ferns, mushrooms, coffee, almonds, and smoky oak weave through, leading to a palate with moderate power and very elegant, finely textured tannins, culminating in a dignified acidity. Other tasting notes include tobacco, cedar, vanilla, pepper, licorice, blackberry, plum, jam, earthy, mushroom, and forest floor.
🍴 Food Pairing: This versatile red Burgundy pairs beautifully with duck, goose, and other game birds. It also complements beef, lamb, poultry, and veal dishes.
🥂 Event Suggestions: This wine is perfect for a celebration or enjoying with friends. It has excellent aging potential, capable of evolving interestingly over three decades, so consider giving it 5+ years in the cellar if you prefer more mature characteristics.
