Aux Perdrix is a premier cru vineyard in the Nuits-Saint-Georges appellation. The plot, about 3.5 hectares, is almost entirely owned by one producer: Domaine des Perdrix. The vines were planted between 1922 and 1980. They are located on a gentle slope with a southeastern exposure south of Nuits-Saint-Georges. The grapes are picked by hand and extensively sorted. A cold peel soak of 4 to 6 days follows to extract the phenolic compounds. The grapes are then destemmed and subjected to another 15 days of skin soaking. The alcoholic fermentation takes place spontaneously, after which the press and aging wines are separated and aged separately. The wine is aged in traditional Burgundian 228 liter barrels for 15 to 18 months, 40% of which are new. The Perdrix Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Perdrix Premier Cru has an elegant taste with good acidity and freshness, soft red fruit, soft tannins, cream and subtlety. The scent of the Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 'Aux Perdrix' is an excellent, beautiful intense pinot noir, typified, soft fruit, cherries, strawberries, nice broad and subtle, vanilla, smoky.

If we look at the red wines from Burgundy, we must conclude that the beautiful examples come from the northern part of the Côte d'Or, the Côte de Nuits. Here are the wine villages where the Pinot Noir matures best, where the red Burgundy has the most finesse, combined with power and complexity. The center of the region is the town of Nuits-Saint-Georges. Around Nuits-Saint-Georges, and especially on the west side, are the vineyards that produce great Burgundy. These most beautiful vineyards all have their own name and the right to call themselves 'Premier Cru'. One of those beautiful Premiers Crus is Aux Perdrix, named after the partridges that often roam around here. The Domaine des Perdrix takes its name from this vineyard, which it also owns for 99%, a 'quasi-monopole', as the label states. He produces beautiful, complex wines, even on the powerful side for Nuits-Saint-Georges. Awesome.
