Description

This 2019 Aux Perdrix is a vibrant yet sculpted expression of Nuits‑Saint‑Georges. It blends brimming dark fruit energy—like black cherry and cassis—with floral grace, spicy nuance, and a plush texture framed by refined tannins and framed by a polished, energetic finish. Terroir & Winemaking Crafted from the domaine’s near-monopole Aux Perdrix Premier Cru vineyard (about 99% owned), located on a southeast-facing clay-limestone slope. Vines date between 1922 and 1980. Harvested and sorted by hand, the wine undergoes cold pre-fermentation maceration followed by 15 days of gentle pigeage and native yeast fermentation. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels with around 50% new oak. Tasting Notes AppearanceRich garnet with youthful purple highlights. Aroma (Nose)Deep and alluring, with aromas of black cherry, cassis, layered with peppery spice and a touch of rose petal florals. Palate & TextureThe wine offers a generous, mouth-coating elegance, featuring ripe black fruit, a hint of plum sweetness, and savory spice. Its structure is plush and round but lively. FinishThe finish is long and vibrant—silky tannins lead into an energetic close defined by fresh acidity and sees flowers and spice linger.
