About Domaine des Perdrix
The Domaine overlooks the Roussillon plain. The 30 hectares of vines of the estate are located in the foothills of the Pyrenees in the Aspres sector around the town of Trouillas. The soil is called mosaic because it is composed of a variety of soils, clayey-limestone, granitic and silty soils. Andr and Virginie offer wines of expression and pleasure representing the different appellations of the C te du Roussillon. The size of Domaine des Perdrix consists of 15 hectares that include both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varieties with an average age of 35 years. It has vineyards in Vosne-Roman e and plots in Nuit-Saint-Georges with Pinot Noir. There are also the Nuit-Saint-Georges Premier Cru Aux Perdrix vineyards, which are owned as a quasi-monopoly with the Domaine owning 99% of the vineyard. Last, the Ech zeaux Grand Cru plots are right next to Vosne-Roman e and consist of 1.14 hectares. This is quite rare in Burgundy since the region has only 33 Grand Crus. The terroir mostly consists of limestone mixed in with clay-like marl. The grapes are hand-harvested and then sorted to get rid of the unripe or damaged grapes. They then head into the vats where they go through a three-step process: pre-fermenting maceration, maceration, and post-fermenting maceration. The wines are then aged for about 18 months in mostly oak barrels. Finally, the wines are immediately bottled afterward to ensure they keep their floral and fruity aromas. Le Domaine des Perdrix has proven to be one of the best with its many awards from blind tastings: best Pinot Noir in the world, best Ech zeaux, best Nuits-Saint-Georges, and among many others.
