Bitouzet-Prieur Description
Discover the hidden gem of white Burgundy with Bitouzet-Prieur's Meursault Perrieres, an enigmatic Chardonnay that captivates the senses with its dazzling minerality and layered elegance. Journey through a landscape of enchanting flavors, cultivated from François Bitouzet's premier cru vineyard, and indulge in a transformative wine experience like no other.
Bitouzet-Prieur Meursault Perrieres bewitches the palate with its extraordinary minerality and a sensation akin to liquid crystals. The Chardonnay, planted in 1983, shines with a tight-grained, tunneling taste, while its borderline saline essence delivers an invigorating sensation. Young and vivacious, the wine matures gradually, blossoming into a white Burgundy of unparalleled majesty and finesse. The 25-30% new oak, used during its 16-month élevage, imparts a subtle complexity and depth that leaves a lasting impression on every sip.
To truly appreciate the splendor of Bitouzet-Prieur's Meursault Perrieres, pair this tantalizing wine with exquisite seafood dishes like seared scallops, grilled lobster, or fresh oysters. The wine's delicate saline notes effortlessly complement the briny flavors of the sea, creating a harmonious symphony of taste. Additionally, the wine's rich minerality and complex profile can be enhanced by indulging in creamy dishes such as truffle risotto or a classic French beurre blanc sauce.
Burghound: 93 Points
there is a plethora of floral influences to the lemon-lime, mineral reduction and passion fruit scents. The intense, overtly stony and penetrating middle weight flavors display first rate persistence on the very firm finale. In sum, this is a classic Perri?res.
