Tasting notes
The Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Aux Perdrix, Cuvée Les 8 Ouvrées 2006 has a beautiful velvet red colour with purple tints, bright and limpid.
The nose is matured and complex, with red berries and mild-spices (cinnamon, nutmeg and white Pepper) aromas.
The mouth is dense and suave ; the tannins are silky and matured.
We feel black fruits (black cherries and blackcurrant) and spiced notes.
Long aftertaste.
