Clayey-limestone soil, with a clayey predominance.

Winemaking and Aging

Grapes are harvested by hand then sorted out and totally destemmed. Maceration is made and alcoholic fermentation lasts from 15 to 20 days in temperatures control vats, with punching of the cap. Aging is 100% made in oak barrels during 12 to 18 month. Malolactic fermentation is 100% realized.
Wine is bottled in Traditional Burgundy bottles. The cork is marked with the estate's name and the vintage.

Robert Vernizeau is the winemaker at Domaine des Perdrix for 16 years.
