Viticulture

Perrière is a synonym for quarry (carrière in French); quarry-workers were called perriers. The south part of the vineyard is Nuits-Saint-Georges territory where the exposure is east-south-east at an altitude of 260 to 275 metres.

Tasting Note

A dense and sustained colour. Even in its youth it enchants with the freshness and intensity of its fruitiness. Throughout its evolution, it displays a consistent structure; fully rounded, almost silky to the palate, underlined and enhanced by a lively and pleasing freshness. It seduces with both its structure and its aromatic qualities. Fruitiness tending towards macerated cherry, stone and liquorice blend with fine balsamic smells that recall pine resin, reinforced with a subtle dose of tars-tannins.

Food Matching

Duck breast with a redcurrant sauce, grilled ribeye steak, or creamy poultry dishes.
