Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les 8 Ouvrées
2019
See the Domaine des Perdrix detail page for more information on this brand
Tribute to history. From the oldest vines planted with the famous 1er Cru Aux Perdrix of 1922 represent an area of 8 ouvrées, the name of the unit of measurement used for vines in Burgundy. At the time, the area of vines could be dug up by a winegrower in one day and corresponds to 4.28 ares.
Grapes harvested by hand, manually sorted and destemmed. Aged for 18 months 100% in 228-litre barrels, 50% of which are new barrels, then 2 months in vats.
Very beautiful deep red color. Expressive and fine, on cherry and blackcurrant with a spicy hint (pepper, ginger). The palate is full and enveloping, the tannins are silky, the finish delicate: finesse and freshness. Pairings with a Cote de Boeuf!!!
This is a bit more generously wooded and perhaps a bit spicier if otherwise similar. There is however a lusher and more opulent mouthfeel to the equally dense and nicely energetic flavors that also offer solid depth and persistence. This is stylistically different from the regular cuvée but it's not necessarily qualitatively superior.
Outstanding
