2022 Volnay, Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur, Burgundy

Description

From two parcels in Echards and Aussy, this Volnay gives a lot, with a powerful and expressive nose. This is tempered with violet and rose-petal notes that ensure the heady aroma is anchored. The fruit is predominantly strawberry with some cranberry notes. The wine will give pleasure early and continue to do so for years to come.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin MW 89-90/100
The 2022 Volnay Village has a floral bouquet with rose petals and iris infusing the brambly red fruit. Much better than the 2021. The well-balanced palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fleshy red fruit and an approachable, quite peppery finish that lingers in the mouth. Worth seeking out.Drink 2026 - 2036Neil Martin, Vinous.com.com (January 2024)

A bright mid crimson. The bouquet is quite stylish, almost floral, with the right elegance for a good village Volnay. Raspberry and fresh strawberry. An agreeably lifted finish.Drink 2026 - 2032Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (December 2023)

About this wine

Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur

Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur – along with current winemaker François – was born of the marriage of Vincent Bitouzet (of Volnay) and Ann Prieur (of Meursault), bringing together two distinguished Burgundian families. The domaine has a red cellar next door to Lafarge (who are distant cousins) and a white cellar in Meursault, with reds making up approximately 60 percent of production. The estate’s notable vineyard holdings include a selection of the finest Premier Cru sites in Volnay and Meursault. The whites are elegant and restrained, rather than being broad-shouldered, old-fashioned Meursault. The reds are de-stemmed, with new oak kept to a modest level.
