Bitouzet-Prieur Description
Bitouzet-Prieur Volnay is a premium Pinot Noir crafted from a blend of grapes sourced from three exceptional sites: Les Petits Gamets, Ez Echards, and the villages-level portion of Les Aussy. This outstanding wine is aged for 16 months in 10% new oak, showcasing impeccable purity of fruit and an enchanting balance. With a robust structure that allows for striking improvement in the cellar, the Bitouzet-Prieur Volnay is a true reflection of the domaine's expertise in producing premier cru cuvées.
The Bitouzet-Prieur Volnay presents a mesmerizing ruby-red hue, revealing a fresh and fruity aroma with an exuberant red berry profile. As you savor each sip, the palate is greeted by a delightful burst of flavors, leading to a lightly tannic finish that serves as a testament to the wine's origin in the prestigious Volnay appellation.
The refined flavors and exquisite balance of the Bitouzet-Prieur Volnay make it a versatile companion for a range of culinary delights. Pair this exceptional Pinot Noir with tender, herb-crusted lamb, earthy wild mushroom risotto, or a savory roast chicken with root vegetables. The wine's lively red berry notes also complement a variety of soft and semi-firm cheeses, such as Brie, Camembert, or Gruyère, enhancing the flavors of each dish for a truly unforgettable dining experience.
Burghound: 91 Points
Bourgeon de cassis aromas precede the sleeker and more refined medium weight flavors that possess a beguiling mid-palate texture before concluding in a youthfully austere, more compact and structured finale. This too is lovely but here at least a few years of patience will be necessary.
