Nuit Saint Georges 1er Cru Aux Perdrix 2019 - Domaine des Perdrix

From the estate

TASTING

- The Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Perdrix reveals a ripe, seductive bouquet of cherry, rose petal and a sumptuous application of creamy new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with juicy acids and a long finish. A very fine example in its extravagant style.

TERROIR

- The Premier Cru Aux Perdrix is one of the most beautiful terroirs of the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation. The parcel is almost entirely owned (99%), i.e. almost a monopoly. The Domaine des Perdrix is the only producer of this terroir. The vines were planted between 1922 and 1980.

- Total surface area: 3.4515 hectares (8.52 acres).

- Climate & Soil : The vines are exposed South-East on a gentle slope to the South of the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The Aux Perdrix parcel is convex in shape and benefits from a privileged exposure. The soil is clay-limestone with a predominance of clay.

 VINIFICATION

- To preserve their quality, the grapes are harvested by hand, then the harvest is manually sorted and 100% destemmed.

- Before the alcoholic fermentation, we carry out a pre-fermentation cold maceration of 4 to 6 days which helps us to extract the phenolic compounds. The grapes are destemmed beforehand. The maceration then lasts 15 days during which pigeage without pumping over is carried out. Their number and intensity are the variables leading to the concentration of the tannins, their perfume and their color.

The alcoholic fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts.

- After maceration, the press wine and free-run wine are carefully separated and aged separately.  The wine is aged for 18 months in 100% traditional Burgundy barrels of 228 liters, 50% of which are new, and then 2 months in stainless steel tanks. French oak barrels from Burgundy, Allier and Vosges.

 GASTRONOMY

- It will be the perfect accompaniment to a Terrine de Campagne, grilled red meats and marinated vegetables.

- The temperature is an essential element, 15° for the reds, and without a good tasting glass that will amplify the wine's aromas, one is sure to diminish its pleasure. 

 GUARANTEE

- To be enjoyed at an ideal temperature of 13-14°C or kept for 15 to 20 years.
