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.
