Details


In the realm of Burgundy's esteemed Côte d’Or, Pierre Damoy's 2017 Chambertin stands as a testament to the legacy of his family's estate, which he inherited from his uncle, Jacque Damoy, in 1992. This profound wine originates from one of Burgundy's most revered terroirs, cultivated by Pierre's great-great-grandfather, Julien Damoy, and encompasses 1.19 acres of illustrious vineyards. With a commitment to revitalizing the estate's esteemed holdings, Pierre has transformed Domaine Pierre Damoy into a beacon of excellence within Gevrey-Chambertin. The wine reveals itself in a deep ruby hue, heralding the sensory journey to come. On the nose, enticing aromas of spiced blue and red fruit intertwine with earthy undertones and delicate hints of violets, setting the stage for a captivating experience. The palate is a revelation of ripe raspberry and blueberry, accented by notes of mocha, exotic spices, and a profound minerality that adds depth and complexity. With its muscular structure and impressive intensity, Pierre Damoy's 2017 Chambertin culminates in a powerful and enduring finish, leaving an indelible impression of Burgundian grandeur.


Robert Parker - 97 Points

"The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru wafts from the glass with a complex bouquet of red berries, plums, rose petals and orange rind, framed by bass notes of rich, loamy soil and carnal nuances of smoked meats. Full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's layered and concentrated, its expansive attack segueing into a richly structured but impressively vibrant mid-palate, concluding with a long, resonant finish. This is a brilliant wine that readers should plan on forgetting for at least a decade."


Antonio Galloni - 98 Points

"The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru has a very intense, brilliantly-defined bouquet with laser-like precision, incredibly focused and perfectly integrated oak. Less generous than Bichot's Chambertin at the moment though - this is biding its time. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, insistent grip and plenty of freshness. Maybe just a little more confit in style than others. Still, a fabulous Chambertin that gains clarity and precision in the glass. Effortless. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting."
