2020 Dm des Perdrix Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Perdrix, Burgundy

Domaine des Perdrix Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Perdrix is an exceptional expression of Burgundian Pinot Noir, sourced from one of the most prestigious Premier Cru vineyards in the Côte de Nuits. Domaine des Perdrix, under the stewardship of Bertrand and Christiane Devillard, is renowned for producing wines that balance power, elegance, and terroir-driven character.

In the glass, this Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru displays a deep ruby hue with bright garnet reflections. The nose is complex and enticing, offering aromas of ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, and blackcurrant, intertwined with floral notes of violet and rose petal. Hints of forest floor, crushed herbs, and subtle spice from well-integrated French oak add depth and intrigue.

On the palate, it’s beautifully structured and silky, with vibrant red fruit flavors complemented by fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Flavors of raspberry, plum, and redcurrant are layered with savoury spice, earthy minerality, and a touch of graphite. The finish is long, elegant, and refreshing, leaving lingering notes of cherry, spice, and delicate oak.

This Premier Cru Pinot Noir pairs perfectly with roast duck, lamb, or game dishes. It also complements mushroom risotto, charcuterie, and aged cheeses. While drinking beautifully now with a short decant, it has the structure to age gracefully for 10–15 years, developing further complexity while retaining its vibrant core.

Domaine des Perdrix Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Perdrix is more than just a Burgundy—it’s a testament to the region’s ability to produce wines of finesse, complexity, and longevity.
