Bitouzet-Prieur Description
Bitouzet-Prieur Clos des Chenes 1er Cru is a premier wine showcasing the exceptional complexity of the finest Volnays. Sourced from 0.72 hectares of the renowned Taillepieds vineyard, our Pinot Noir grapes are cultivated in the unique limestone-clay soils that give this wine its thundering minerality. With savory red fruits and delicate floral notes, the Clos des Chenas is a true testament to the essence of the mother-rock, leaving a lasting impression with its salty finish.
The Bitouzet-Prieur Clos des Chenes captivates the palate with its bold minerality, which intertwines seamlessly with the savory red fruits and subtle floral notes. A masterpiece of balance, this wine showcases a rich, yet elegant profile, boasting a harmonious interplay between its earthy character and the delectable fruit flavors. The stunning, salty finish leaves a lasting impression, a testament to the wine's connection to its terroir.
The Bitouzet-Prieur Clos des Chenes pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. Its rich minerality and savory red fruit flavors complement roasted or grilled meats, such as duck, lamb, or beef tenderloin. For a more delicate pairing, try it with seared tuna or salmon, as the wine's subtle floral notes will enhance the fish's natural flavors. Vegetarian options, like a wild mushroom risotto or a hearty ratatouille, will also harmonize with the wine's earthy tones and bring out its complexity.
Burghound: 93 Points
a mentholated top note on the more deeply pitched aromas of plum, black raspberry and subtle tea and floral wisps. As is always the case, there is more size, weight and power to the intensely mineral-driven flavors that possess a velvety mid-palate that contrasts with the dusty, youthfully austere and even more complex and persistent finale.
