Domaine Des Perdrix 2019 Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Perdrix Premier Cru "Quasi Monopole"
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.
Tasting Notes
-
Appearance
Rich garnet with youthful purple highlights. -
Aroma (Nose)
Deep and alluring, with aromas of black cherry, cassis, layered with peppery spice and a touch of rose petal florals. -
Palate & Texture
The wine offers a generous, mouth-coating elegance, featuring ripe black fruit, a hint of plum sweetness, and savory spice. Its structure is plush and round but lively. -
Finish
The finish is long and vibrant—silky tannins lead into an energetic close defined by fresh acidity and sees flowers and spice linger.
