Winery - Domaine des Perdrix
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Darkly textured wine, the black berry fruits show firmness as well as acidity and a dry core. This will age well, its tannins pushing the weight forward. It is an impressive wine, with the acidity of 2008, while also having powerful structure.

An impressive peformance, this wine has pure flavors of ripe blackberries and bitter cherries along with dark tannins and solid, chunky fruit.

This is an intense wine with its perfumes, hints of herbs and mint and ripe, sweet caramel fruit and soft toast. Hints of solid tannins give a feeling of dryness at the end.

With its power, black tannins and dark fruit, this is a wine of good concentration. It is firmly structured, the black plum and coffee flavors lifted by tight acidity. The dryness at the core of the wine needs several years to soften, but this is a fine example of village Nuits-Saint-Georges.

This is both rich and firmly structured. The tannins are the most prominent element here, dominating the black fruits and offering a texture that is dense and dry. Black berry and plum juice flavors are joined by bitter chocolate and rich spice. For aging.

Provides an interesting contrast to the harmony of Perdrix’s village bottling. This premier cru is big, burly and, frankly, just a bit oversized. With bushels of black plums, tins of cocoa and loaves of toast, it’s a good wine, just a little overdone.

Big, plummy and extracted, it also boasts a strong pine resin note on the nose. Black cherries are framed in vanilla, and some unusual citrusy (oranges?) notes appear on the palate. The finish is a bit abbreviated by tannin at this youthful age, but should smooth out in time. Try in 2006.

A beautifully perfumed wine. It has a good edge of firm tannins, but the fruit is so sweet and ripe, packed with strawberry jam flavors. Very seductive, the wood spice gives an extra edge. Drink now, or age for 4–5 years.

A solid wine, finely constructed, its chunky tannins blending well with the red-plum-juice flavors. The acidity is important, along with the tasty cherry texture. Age for 3–4 years.

Half the 29 acres of the Domaine des Perdrix is in grand or premier cru, and this is a jewel in its range of wines. It has all the right density, rich black fruit flavors and edge of minerality, an impressively ripe wine from a lighter red wine year. The strawberry acidity gives extreme freshness at the same time as lifting the firm structure. For aging.
