Monopole of a superficy area of 3.6 hectares, this parcel is located right under Les Perrière, a former pit of Nuits-Saint-Georges that was previously exploited by the monks of Citeaux. Set on the pink limestone and very rocky Premeaux, the Clos des Porrets is made of limestone screes and of a soil high in clay on lower slopes. Long-keeping wines that come from it express a lovely finesse after a few years of bottles. The Porrets are especially mentioned by Dr. Lavalle in 1855, author of a well-known book on the wines of Burgundy, which he considers as one of the best cru of the commune.
