Situation géographique et terroir
Between Dijon and Beaune lies the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges, which gives its name to the Côte de Nuits, which extends over some twenty kilometers. The appellation is also known for having been taken into space with the Apollo XV mission, which gave the name of the village to a lunar crater. The “Clos des Perrières” climate takes its name from the soil on which the vines rest. Indeed, “perrière” comes from the old French perriere which means quarry. The plot of this climate is located on very stony soil under a quarry. The name “clos” in Burgundy means that the vineyard is surrounded by walls, at least three of them.
Vinification
The grapes are sorted, de-stemmed and then gently conveyed into the vat on a belt, without pumping. Before fermentation, we carry out a cold maceration at 10°C for 4 to 5 days. Vatting lasts between 18 and 20 days, during which we punch down the cap daily. The wine is then put into barrels, and the malolactic fermentation is carried out in full.
