Winemaking and Aging
Grapes are harvested by hand then sorted out and totally destemmed. Maceration is made and alcoholic fermentation lasts from 15 to 20 days in temperatures' control vats, with punching of the cap. Aging is 100 % made in oak barrels (35% new oak) during 14 month. Malolactic fermentation is 100 % realized. Wine is bottled in Traditional Burgundy bottles. The cork is marked with the estate's name and the vintage. Robert Vernizeau is the winemaker at Domaine des Perdrix for 16 years.
Tasting notes
Beautiful deep and intense dark colour.
The nose is rich on the blackcurrant, blueberry and spices.
On the palate, the wine is powerful with smooth spices, cinnamon and nutmeg. Well structured with tannins which are present but smooth. Long aftertaste.
