ABOUT THE WINE
Managed by Bertrand & Christiane Devillard and their children Amaury & Aurore since 1996, the Domaine des Perdrix, located in Cote de Nuits spread over 12 hectares in the best terroirs within the villages of Nuits Saint Georges and Vosne Romanee. Nearly 5 hectares of the estate produce Nuits Saint Georges 1 er Cru, among which the excellent “Aux Perdrix” is a quasimonopole (99%). The quality of the vineyards, their rigorous management and vinification have established the Domaine des Perdrix as a renowned Domaine.

TASTING NOTES
One of the finest villages for red Burgundy, Echezeaux provides muscular fruit that's riper, but still very elegant. Candied red cherries and fresh raspberries along with shiitake mushrooms and toasty vanilla and cinnamon coming from the new French oak barrel ageing. A wine which will age gracefully.

FOOD PAIRING
Wood-fire roasted pigeon or beef bavette steak with creamed parsnips and warm cherry compote.

FRIARWOOD SAYS
Needs time to reveal its potential and perfumes of fruits and spices which will get stronger and stronger with maturation. Tannins are firm but ripe and silky.
