The wine

A superb, high-class Nuits-Saint-Georges; the domaine's benchmark wine. Originating from a parcel of almost 3.4 hectares in the commune of Prémeaux-Prissey, at the extreme southern end of the appellation, just before the Clos Arlot and Clos de la Maréchale. A magnificent premier cru from this fine appellation.

About the Producer Domaine des Perdrix

Domaine de Perdrix owes its name to the Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Perdrix Premier Cru, which is run soley by this domain. This is one of the first vineyards that the Devillard family owned along with the Château de Chamirey and Domaine de la Garenne and Domaine de la Ferté in Burgundy.
As well as superb plots in Côtes de Nuits and Nuits premier crus, the domain produces Vosne and Echézeaux wines. Since the Devillard family took over the domain in 1996, the wines have continued to gain in definition. The family made wise choices such as installing a cooler cellar to allow longer ageing periods with fewer toasted barriques.
The yields are low, the maturity is optimal and the sustainable farming is remarkable. The domain's red wines are powerful whilst still very refined, and they have remarkable ageing potential.
