2023 Aurelien Verdet, Marsannay Champ Perdrix

The 2023 Aurélien Verdet Marsannay Champ Perdrix is a classic expression of Burgundy’s northern Côte de Nuits, offering both character and clarity in the glass. Marsannay is known for producing reds with real personality, and this cuvée stands out for its dark fruit profile, fine structure, and the fresh, energetic finish that gives it such appealing precision.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby color with youthful brightness. The nose opens with black cherry, licorice, and a subtle earthy undertone of undergrowth, giving the wine a distinctly Burgundian feel. On the palate, the wine is firm yet well-balanced, with present tannins that frame the fruit without overpowering it. The finish is marked by freshness and tension, suggesting a wine that can be enjoyed young for its energy, but also has the structure to develop additional complexity with a few years in bottle.

Production
Champ Perdrix comes from Marsannay, a village at the northern gateway to the Côte de Nuits, where limestone and marl soils help shape wines with freshness, spice, and structure. Aurélien Verdet’s approach typically emphasizes attentive vineyard work and careful winemaking to preserve purity and site expression, allowing the natural typicity of the appellation to come through clearly.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs well with roast poultry, duck breast, game birds, mushroom-based dishes, and charcuterie. Serve at around 15–17°C, and decanting for 30–45 minutes can help open the aromatics and soften the youthful structure if enjoyed soon after release.

Producer
Aurélien Verdet is a respected Burgundy producer associated with thoughtful, terroir-driven wines that reflect the nuances of their vineyards. In a region where precision and site identity are prized, the domaine has earned recognition for crafting wines with balance, freshness, and a strong sense of place.
