Domaine Nicolas Perrault Bourgogne Rouge P'tit Nicolas 2023

Nicolas farms several small plots in this Premier Cru vineyard, of which he owns .85 hectares.  The largest is in a sunken quarry with calcareous soils.  The 85-year-old vines planted there are protected from the cooler winds, allowing the site to achieve more uniform ripeness.  Hand-harvested.  Partial whole cluster depending on vintage.  Native yeast fermentation in concrete.  Aging in barrels (25% new) for 18 months.

Based in the village of Dezize-les-Maranges at the base of the Côte de Beaune, Nicolas Perrault established his domaine in 2012.  His family had a long history of tending vines in the village; however, they had never estate-bottled their wines.  All of Nicolas' farming is organic with biodynamic treatments.  His work in the vineyard and cellar is done according to the lunar cycle. Based in a historically overlooked part of the Cote, Nicolas is particularly focused on revitalizing old vine vineyards with new training methods that improve the lifespan of the vines.
