Domaine Chantal Lescure 2019 Nuits Saint Georges AOC Rouge 1C Les Damodes

The Domaine Chantal Lescure 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes is a true jewel of Burgundy, showcasing its elegance and complexity in a 0.75-liter bottle that captivates the senses. Coming from an area renowned for its rigorous viticultural practices, this still red wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes, which grow in clay-limestone soils, contributing to an extraordinary minerality.

Outdoors, the wine presents a vibrant ruby color, revealing its intensity right away. Upon opening the bottle, notes of black cherry, raspberry, and orange zest emerge from the glass, followed by deeper hints of sweet spices and subtle undertones of wet earth. On the palate, the structure is silky, yet supported by well-integrated tannins and an acidity that provides freshness. The red fruit harmoniously blends with notes of vanilla and cocoa, reflecting a skillful aging in oak barrels.

Les Damodes, with their privileged location, impart a length and complexity to this wine that make it perfect for intriguing food pairings. Try it with a grilled beef tenderloin, accompanied by mushrooms and mashed potatoes, or with an aged cheese like Comté. This Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru is not just a wine; it is an experience that captures the very soul of Burgundy, ready to seduce even the most discerning palates.
