Domaine des Perdrix Nuits St Georges 1er Cru "Aux Perdrix" 2019, 750ml

This 3.45 hectares plot is almost a monopole, with only Domaine de Perdrix producing wines from this famous terroir. The vines were planted between 1922 and 1955 in a clay-limestone parcel facing south east.

The grapes are destemmed and cold soaked during 4 to 6 days to extract color and the more delicate flavors. Then full maceration
lasts for 15 days with punch downs. The must in then fermented with indigenous yeast.

The wine is aged for 18 months with in 50% new barrels from Allier and Vosges forests. The wine spends 2 months in stainless steel tanks before bottling.

Tasting Notes:

Nice red colour with purple reflects. The nose is complex with black fruits aromas (black cherries, cassis), a hint of spice (pepper) and ending on floral notes. The wine is ample and mouth-coating with silky tannins and a fresh and vibrant finish.
