2023 Boigey Freres - Nuits St. Georges Damodes (750ml) [PRE ARRIVAL]
Domaine Boigey Frères is a young estate in Vosne-Romanée, formerly known as Domaine Albert Noirot, run by brothers Guillaume and Olivier from a family with deep roots in the village. The brothers began producing wine under their own name in 2019, initially bottling just three cuvées, and have gradually built out their portfolio as leases on inherited parcels expire and the vineyards return to the family. Reviewers have noted a marked jump in quality and complexity in recent vintages as the brothers refine their winemaking approach across an expanding and increasingly prized set of sites.
Les Damodes is a premier cru vineyard at the northern edge of Nuits-Saint-Georges, sitting directly on the border with Vosne-Romanée and among the estate's original holdings from its first vintages. The domaine farms this plot using organic and biodynamic methods, and the wine is made entirely from Pinot Noir with the same careful, hands-on approach the brothers apply across their small but growing range. The site's proximity to Vosne gives the resulting wine a character that leans toward that commune's finesse rather than the more rustic style sometimes associated with Nuits-Saint-Georges.
This wine offers a vivid bouquet of ripe red and black fruit layered with spice, showing refined concentration and a finely wrought structure. The palate is elegant and concentrated, built on velvety, precise tannins that carry through to a long, polished finish.
