Nuits Saint Georges 1er Cru "Aux Perdrix"

Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Aux Perdrix” — one of the most concentrated vineyards in the Côte de Nuits, right on the border with Vosne-Romanée. The 2019 vintage shows what a warm, structured vintage can achieve with this site.

Domaine des Perdrix belongs to the Devillard family, who have consistently focused the winery on quality for decades. The "Aux Perdrix" vineyard is located in the northern part of the appellation on calcareous clay soil—this explains the combination of power and freshness that characterizes this wine.

In the glass, ripe dark cherry, rose petals, and a hint of plum jam are revealed. Aging in new oak barrels adds a creamy vanilla note without overpowering the fruit. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with firmly integrated tannins and lively acidity—the finish is long and spicy.

Drinking window: now until 2032, currently best when aerated. Temperature: 16–17 °C. Pairs well with braised venison, Coq au Vin or mature Époisses.
