Domaine des Perdrix : Echezeaux Grand cru 2022

The richness and complexity of a Burgundy Grand Cru

The estate

Taken over in 1996 by the Devillard family, the Domaine des Perdrix stands out as one of the most beautiful properties on the Côte de Nuits. Today at the head of a 15-hectare vineyard with more than half classified as Premier Cru and Grand Cru, the property watches over the exceptional terroirs of Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Nuits-Saint -Georges “Aux Perdrix” Premier Cru, a virtual monopoly. Owners of a 1.14 hectare Échezeaux Grand Cru plot, the Devillards enjoy a diversity of extremely rare terroirs, especially bearing in mind that Burgundy only has 33 Grand Crus.

The vineyard

Échezeaux Grand Cru 2022 from Domaine des Perdrix is a Côte de Nuits wine, in Burgundy, made from grapes harvested from two prestigious plots: Échezeaux du Dessus and Les Quartiers de Nuits.

Winemaking and ageing

This Échezeaux wine is the result of expert work both in the vineyard and in the cellar: to guarantee quality, the grapes are carefully harvested and sorted by hand. Whole harvest vinification is then carried out, preceded by a pre-fermentation cold maceration of 4 to 6 days. A 15-day maceration follows, with punching down without pumping over. Fermentation is then carried out with indigenous yeasts. The press and free run juices are then carefully separated and aged separately. Finally, the wine is aged for 18 months in oak barrels.

Grape variety

Pinot Noir (100%)
