Domaine Guy & Yvan Dufouleur, Nuits-Saint-Georges « Les Damodes » 2022 – Nuits-Saint-Georges

The wine has a lemon yellow color of medium intensity. The nose is gourmand, with a pleasant sweetness in these aromas of citrus and stone fruit. It expresses notes of candied lemon peel, citrus jam, yellow peach and juicy apricot, combined with the freshness of green apple, fresh quince and crushed lemon. We also find a floral bouquet (lilac, lime blossom, lemon blossom), a delicate chalky minerality which appears after aeration, as well as delicate woody and spicy notes (fresh wood, toasted hazelnut, vanilla) and a touch of linden honey. The palate offers an expressive attack, with an expressive woody side (fresh wood, toasted hazelnut, vanilla), but balanced by the juiciness of the fruits and a beautiful expression of fruity matter (tart apricot, white peach, ripe lemon, green apple, a touch of grapefruit and fresh quince). We also find flavors of sweet spices (nutmeg), a floral touch (lime blossom, acacia, lemon blossom). The acidity is lively, energetic and sharp and gives the wine verticality and a beautiful structure. The finish is long, tangy and chiseled, salivating and very fresh. A precise, complex and fresh wine.
