TN: 2006 Pierre Damoy Chambertin (France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru)

  • 2006 Pierre Damoy Chambertin - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru (3/21/2012)
    P&P at my locker to share. Didn’t know what to expect, but surprisingly open for business. Fairly dark in color and still relatively primary, but showing nicely. Dark red fruit, earthy, balanced, with nice acidic backbone. This is very good now, but should be fantastic with some age on it. One of the better Burgs I’ve had recently. Went in on a mixed case along with the CdB with Fu and glad I have more sleeping.

i thought the nose was killer on the wine. The depth of rustic flavor on the palate and the acid are great.

Wish we bought more!!

I want some of this! Nice job.

Sounds like another nice '06 that’s still good and open.

These always seem to have a bit of that “rusticity” on the palate for me…

Rustic is a good descriptor. Damoy seems a bit under the radar, in fact, Fu turned me onto this producer and I’m glad he did. Just a great Chambertin and a good “value” for a Chambertin if you can find it under $130.

Wow where did you find that?

I be lovin dem 06’s. It’s a nice counter balance to the high tension of the 08’s (if I’m going to drink something young).

Dr. Kim, we should pop the CDB next!

This was very nice, indeed. As were the 1979 and 1999 bottles opened.

Thanx Dr. J! This turned my head.
