In the southernmost part of Côte de Beaune, Nicolas Perrault has returned to his family vineyard in Maranges. Since 2012, he has been shaping the wine quality that has garnered acclaim from both French and international critics. This appreciation becomes clear once you experience his rustic and intense style, which stands apart from the lighter red wines typical of southern Beaune. His wines do not exhibit excessive oak influence, as they only see 20-25% new oak (with Bourgogne Rouge aging solely in cement1). However, the low yields and meticulous selection of the finest grapes result in remarkable concentration. Despite the density of the wines, they are vibrant and lively, always maintaining an elegance and freshness. Nicolas is truly a craftsman in the vineyard. His dedication to vineyard care and gentle grape handling is impressive. He operates under organic principles, avoiding synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, while also using biodynamic preparations 500 and 501 and adhering to the biodynamic calendar. The harvest is done manually, with carefully chosen grapes collected in small 12 kg boxes. Sulfur is used sparingly, only at bottling. Despite this careful approach, the wines are reasonably priced within the Burgundy spectrum. They represent a rare find—excellent value in classic, well-crafted Burgundy Pinot Noir.

在Côte de Beaune的南端，Nicolas Perrault回到了位於Maranges的家族葡萄園。自2012年以來，他負責的葡萄酒品質，使得近幾個年份的酒款獲得了法國和國際評論家的認可。 一旦你了解他的粗獷而強烈的風格，便能完全明白這一點，這些酒並不屬於南博恩Beaune 的輕盈紅酒。這裡並不是過度的橡木風味，因為酒款僅使用20-25%的新橡木（勃根地紅僅在水泥桶中陳釀），但低產量和對最佳葡萄的細心挑選，提供了極好的濃縮度。儘管風格緊湊，酒款卻充滿了果汁感和活力，從未缺乏優雅與新鮮感。 Nicolas無疑是一位出生於葡萄園的工匠。他對葡萄園的護理和對葡萄的細心處理令人讚賞。他完全依據有機原則工作，避免使用合成肥料和農藥。此外，他還使用生物動力的500和501號生機配方，並遵循生物動力日曆。收成都是人手進行，精心挑選的葡萄裝在小12公斤的箱子裡。二氧化硫的添加量非常有限，僅在裝瓶時使用。 儘管有這種細緻的做法，這些酒的價格並不在勃艮第的高價位範圍內。它們代表著經典、精緻的勃艮第黑比諾中，真正的良好價值。
