Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Damodes La Vougeraie 2012
The wine
This Nuits-Saint-Georges was vinified with indigenous yeasts before undergoing a 16-month maturation in stainless steel vats and barrels. It is ruby red in colour, and its aromatic bouquet is marked by notes of macerated fruit and leather. It has distinct, racy tannins that promise pairings with flavourful dishes. You can keep it in the cellar for several years.
