Domaine Nicolas Perrault

Maranges, Côte-de-Beaune, Bourgogne

Distinctive wines of character. “A promising producer from the southern Côte de Beaune, Nicolas Perrault is a thoughtful winemaker whose efforts are being rewarded by increasingly delicious wines.” William Kelley, Wine Advocate.

Nicolas Perrault is very much a hands-on vigneron focussing on his vineyards and soils - and is also keenly organic - mentioning that he hasn't used any herbicides etc since 2009. Maranges sits just behind Santenay and the premier cru vineyards are all very open and south/southeast-facing withsoils that are a mix of clay and limestone with many fossilised sea-creatures still evident poking out of the  rocks! These are great wines of both quality and value.
