Pierre Girardin - Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru ‘Damodes’ 2022
The Nuits-Saint-Georges is savoury with notes of blueberry.
Pierre-Vincent Girardin is a 13th generation Burgundian winemaker who grew up among the vines in his father’s Domaine.. Starting his own label with the family holdings of Les Folatières in Puligny-Montrachet at the age of 21, he has become a formidable force among young winemakers in Burgundy. Expanding beyond the 4.5 hectares, his family contacts brought him access to top growers in Puligny Folatières, Volnay Clos des Chênes, Pommard Epenots, Corton-Charlemagne, as well as Grand Cru Montrachet.
Set in the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges, neighbouring the Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru les Malconsorts, the vines sit on marl and a thin layer of clay on a limestone soil. Vinified as whole cluster, 11 months in oak barrels (100% new), 4 months in steel tank. No fining nor filtration. Savoury and sapid mouth, nose of blueberry and violet. Has an ageing potential of 8 to 12 years.
100% Pinot Noir.
