They are among the greatest wines of Burgundy.

The vineyard

"Aux Perdrix" Quasi Monopole 2019 by Domaine des Perdrix is a Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er cru wine made from a parcel almost entirely owned (99%) by Domaine des Perdrix. The vines were planted between 1922 and 1980 on a clay-limestone soil which is one of the most beautiful terroirs of the appellation.

Vinification and ageing

Harvested and sorted by hand, the grapes are 100% destemmed. Cold pre-fermentation maceration for 4 to 6 days to extract the phenolic compounds. Alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by 15 days of additional maceration with punching of the cap without pumping over to favour the concentration of tannins, aromas and colour. Separation of the press juice and free-run juice. The wine is aged for 18 months in traditional Burgundy 228-litre barrels, 50% of which are new, followed by a further 2 months in stainless steel tanks.

The blend
