Nuits-Saint-Georges

The Nuits-Saint-Georges 2016 will perfectly pair with roasted lamb, roastbeef or dishes with duck or pork.

Our vineyards producing oue Nuits-Saint-Georges are located in the climats 'Au Bas de Combe' and 'Aux Barrières'. Au Bas de Combe is one of climat the most renowned with its style of Vosne-Romanée and for its quality : between "village" and "Premier Cru". The soil is composed by limestone and clay with clay predominance.

Aging process is taking place 100% in traditional Burgundian 228 liters barrels during 15 months with 30% of new barrels. We only use French oak coming mainly from Bourgogne, Allier and Vosges forests.

To preserve their integrity, grapes are carefully harvested and sorted out by hand. Before beginning the alcoholic fermentation we make a cold pre-fermentation during 4 to 6 days to work on the phelonic component's exctraction. Then full maceration lasts for 15 days during which we'll use only pigeages (punching the cap). Intensity and numbers are lead to the concentration of tannins, perfumes and colour. Alcoholic fermentation is realized with natural yeasts.

Le Domaine des Perdrix was not a renowned estate until the Devillard family took its management in 1996. Robert Parker says about this acquisition that it proves the existence of undiscovered great quality terroirs among the Grands Terroirs of Côte de Nuits. The quality of the vineyards their rigorous management and vinification have established the Domaine des Perdrix as a renowned Domaine one of the best among the Grands Vins de Bourgogne.
