Vosne-Romanée Perdrix (Domaine des) 2007

The wine

Taken over by the Devillard family in 1996, Domaine des Perdrix embodies Burgundy’s passion and savoir-faire. After major renovation work, especially in the winery and cellar, the family took on the challenges of modern winemaking while staying true to Burgundy’s purest traditions. To protect the terroir, the vines are cultivated with environmentally friendly methods, and yields are carefully managed.
Meticulous work in the vineyard leads to low-intervention winemaking, followed by 12 to 18 months of ageing in oak casks in cool cellars, to reveal all the fruit’s finesse. This Pinot Noir displays a vibrant red colour, revealing an expressive bouquet combining aromas of red fruit and liquorice. The indulgent palate affirms the aromas on the nose and offers silky tannins. This cuvée can easily be forgotten in your cellar for a few years.

Domaine de Perdrix owes its name to the Nuits-Saint-Georges Aux Perdrix Premier Cru, which is run soley by this domain. This is one of the first vineyards that the Devillard family owned along with the Château de Chamirey and Domaine de la Garenne and Domaine de la Ferté in Burgundy.
As well as superb plots in Côtes de Nuits and Nuits premier crus, the domain produces Vosne and Echézeaux wines. Since the Devillard family took over the domain in 1996, the wines have continued to gain in definition. The family made wise choices such as installing a cooler cellar to allow longer ageing periods with fewer toasted barriques.
The yields are low, the maturity is optimal and the sustainable farming is remarkable. The domain's red wines are powerful whilst still very refined, and they have remarkable ageing potential.
