Georges Noellat Nuits-Saint-Georges 1Er Cru Les Damodes 2019 750 ML

In the process of a very likely upgrade to the “Grand Cru de Bourgogne” appellation, this wine with a south-facing plot and complex soil, asserts itself from an early age.n With its elegant and brilliant color, this harmonious wine is distinguished by its very beautiful purity, its aromatic delicacy and its power. Spicy and wild notes will reveal themselves from an early age.n n Producer Informationn Charles van Canneyt is the young vigneron at the helm of Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat. Looking to increase production, he started a négoce label under his own name in 2012, expanding the operation in 2013.The operation is a collaboration, working with the support of Johan Björklund, an ex-wine merchant who today runs the boutique and hugely respected Hôtel de Beaune.There is no doubt that Charles is an extremely talented winemaker, as well as being incredibly well-connected – his contacts throughout the Côte d’Or giving him access to some of the most desirable vineyards in the region for his négociant business.The wines are made in tiny volumes and therefore tend to escape the notice of critics, however the quality is as you’d expect from the winemaker of Hudelot-Noëllat. Depending on access and availability, Charles releases around 10 cuvées a year, typically red wines from the Côte de Nuits although in 2019 he also released two Chablis Grands Crus.
