This red wine is a powerful with a nice balance between acidity and tannins.n n Producer Informationn Domaine Pierre Damoy is a Burgundy wine producer located in Gevrey-Chambertin. The family-owned domaine was founded in the 1920s and has been managed by Pierre Damoy since 1992. It is best known for producing Pinot Noir from its Grand Cru vineyard holdings, in particular the Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru vineyard. The domaine covers around 11 hectares (27 acres) of vineyard land spread throughout Gevrey-Chambertin’s grand cru vineyards of Chapelle-Chambertin, Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze and Le Chambertin. Damoy owns a portion of Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze as well as Chapelle-Chambertin. Vines at both sites range from 60-80 years old. Damoy also holds a small area of land in the Chambertin vineyard, and produces Pinot Noir from Marsannay, as well as Bourgogne Blanc and Rouge from vineyards in Fixin and Couchey. For the vinification process, grapes are harvested manually and picked relatively late. The fruit is sorted during picking and once again at the winery, then macerated for up to 15 days. Pinot Noir is fermented in open top vats and punched down by hand. The wines generally age on the lees for 18 months with grand cru wines barrel maturing in up to 100 percent new French oak.
