From

This gem hails from the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy, where vineyards are kissed by history and blessed with terroir that’s practically divine. Domaine des Perdrix holds its near-monopole vineyards with a grip as firm as a Parisian handshake, ensuring that each bottle is a testament to the Devillard family’s passion and prowess.

History

Since 1996, the Devillard family has been the heart and soul of Domaine des Perdrix, with roots that delved into the earth of Côte de Nuits like the vines themselves. With their stewardship, the wines have blossomed into the critically acclaimed beauties they are today, echoing the whispers of those first planted vines from 1922.

Production Process

Carefully crafted from 100% Pinot Noir, the grapes are hand-harvested and pampered through a meticulous vinification process that emphasizes elegance. The grapes are destemmed entirely, with fermentation lasting up to twenty days followed by aging in French oak barrels; it’s a method that marries tradition with a touch of flair.

Certifications and Awards

With a focus on sustainable viticulture, the Domaine practices organic methods to ensure every glass raises a toast to Mother Earth. Though accolades are routine for such an esteemed winery, every pour offers an award-winning experience.

Unique Features

The near-monopole vineyard of “Aux Perdrix,” old vines dating back nearly a century, and limestone-rich soils are the secret to its distinctive charisma. It’s Burgundy at its most authentic, a genuine terroir expression that only a select few winemakers can claim.
