Bourgogne Pinot fin, Les Ravry, Pierre Damoy - 2018

Provenance: Burgundy
Appellation: Bourgogne
Domain: Pierre Damoy
Grape variety(ies): Pinot noir
On-call time: 7 years
Alcohol degree: 15%

This is quite simply one of the best "Burgundies" there is. But what does it have more than others? First of all, its depth of colour, perfume and mouthfeel. One can guess here the old vines, the low yields, the great maturity of the grapes without tipping over into heaviness or softness. The black fruit and liquorice aromas are archetypal of the northern Côte de Nuits. The structure is vinous, saline, dense and energetic. The length in the mouth is very serious. It would rival many wines of the Village appellation, from the "star" neighbouring communes.

The property was founded by Pierre's great-great-grandfather, Julien, and has never been divided. Pierre Damoy succeeded his uncle, Jacques, in 1992. The estate is also an important source of grapes for certain Beaune négociants who have fixed areas reserved for them on long-term contracts. He also buys grapes for certain appellations that are not classified as Grand Cru, such as Fixin Mogottes.A man of character, secretive and discreet, passionate about rare plants and agriculture in all its forms, Pierre Damoy has a background in agricultural research. And despite the use of numerous organic treatments on the estate, he is not satisfied with what he considers to be the "excessive dependence" of organic viticulture on copper compounds, which always end up in the soil, even though they are approved for "organic" treatments in the form of Bordeaux mixture. As a true man of the field, with good farming sense, he claims respect for his land and a sustainable, perennial culture. His soils are ploughed and no herbicides or pesticides are used in the vineyards. It must also be said that in addition to the terroirs, the very old vines are the other treasure of the estate, with the...
