Alain Michelot Nuits St Georges 1er Cru Champs Perdrix

Located in the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine Alain Michelot tends 8 hectares of vineyards covering 15 appellations, including Grand Cru Clos Vougeot, Morey St Denis and 9 of the finest vineyards in Nuits-Saint-Georges. The origin of the property dates back to around 1880 and four generations of winemakers have contributed to the development of this renown estate. More recently Alain Michelot, though still in charge, has handed the winemaking reins to his daughter Elodie, and the wines produced here have gained in finesse and purity as a result. The ageing of the different appellations is done for approximately 18 months in oak barrels (with 25% new oak) and whilst the Michelot's support en-primeur campaigns they also hold back stock and only release the wines with a degree of maturity to show off the delights of great, aged Pinot Noir.

Very striking aromas of wild berries, this is a wine which balances a natural feeling of ripeness, with a great mineral bite and tightly knit structure. Whilst bold in the mid palate, there is a huge degree of elegance and finesse on the finish
