Domaine des Perdrix

Bertrand and Christiane Devillard took over the wine estate of Domaine des Perdrix in 1996. This estate of Côte de Nuits owns 12 hectares of the great soils of Nuits Saint-Georges and Vosne Romanée. About 5 hectares are Nuits Saint-Georges Premiers Crus, of which the Premier Cru aux Perdrix is totally owned. The quality of its soils, the rigour in its cultural manners, the vinification and the maturing make Domaine des Perdrix one of the greatest fame and image of great Burgundy wines. Wine making and maturing are carefully followed by Robert Vernizeau, a talented winemaker.

Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir.

Tasting notes: The Echezeaux Grand Cru 2008 has a very beautiful dark red colour, velvet and brilliant. The discreet nose develops mineral notes, spicy notes (pepper) and dark fruits. In mouth, this wine is balanced with long melted tannins. Great ageing potential.

Food pairing: It goes well with game birds and refined cheese like Epoisses or Chambertin.

Serving and storage: It can be served at 13–14°C or kept in cellar between 8 and 10 years
