Maison Chantereves, Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Damodes 2015

In 2015 Chantereves has expanded the range of wines with the first Cote de Nuits 1er cru – the Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Damodes – from a plot located quite high on the slope. I have tasted this wine a few times from cask – but this is the first time from bottle. The nose is offering deep red and dark berry fruit – quite tightly knit with fresh hints of red currant and pomegranate and a a lovely selection of spices – violets, cinnamon and allspice. On the palate very fine concentration, a nice core of juicy mid-palate fruit, a lovely transparency and expression of the terroir. Lovely to see this terroir unfolding so beautifully – energy is very fine in this wine.

(Drink from 2026) – Very Fine+ (92 – 93p) – Tasted 14/08/2017 in Copenhagen
