Terroir

Clayey-limestone soil, with a clayey predominance. We own 1.05 hectares of vines located between Vosne-Romanée and Clos Vougeot.

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 (40% new oak) during 16 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.

Tasting notes

Beautiful dark red colour with purple tints.
The nose is very delicate, mineral with iodine feelings.
On the palate the wine already enjoyable, full and dense with lovely intense dark fruits aromas. Tannins are dense and firm.

Food and wine pairings

The Vosne-Romanée 2011 will perfectly match with prime cut of beef, beef coast, duck cutlet with honey, as well as goat fresh cheese.

Service and cellaring

It can be served at the ideal temperature of 13-14° C or kept in cellar between 8 to 10 years.

Art of tasting

Owning great wines in your cellar is not enough, you also need to know how to serve them.
Temperature is an essential element, around 53-57°F for the white and 55-59°F for the red. And if you don't have the right tasting glass which will amplify the wine's aromas, you may considerably reduce your tasting pleasure.
A great glass gives a large ventilation surface to the wine and a tightening neck, which allow the nose to grasp more casily the richness and the complexity of a great wine.
