Domaine Pierre Damoy is one of Gevrey‑Chambertin’s quiet powerhouses—a small, fiercely family‑held estate with extraordinary old‑vine holdings in Clos de Bèze, Chapelle‑Chambertin, and Ruchottes‑Chambertin. Since taking over in 1992, Pierre Damoy has farmed with meticulous, low‑intervention precision, favoring low yields and restrained extraction to produce wines that are dark‑fruited, muscular, and built for long aging. Though the domaine keeps a low public profile, its grands crus are among the most coveted in Burgundy, prized for their depth, structure, and unmistakable Gevrey gravitas.
91 Burghound Bright, if definitely ripe aromas include those of petrol, straw, apple and a suggestion of citrus confit. There is solid density to the nicely vibrant middleweight flavors that possess better than average depth and persistence on the clean, moderate dry and bitter lemon-inflected finish. Good quality here for the appellation plus it should repay a few years of keeping.
