Description
Volnay 1er Cru Rouge "Pitures" 2021 | Wine from Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur
The Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur embodies the fusion of two winemaking families: the Bitouzet family, originally from Volnay, and the Prieur family from Meursault. Since 2012, François Bitouzet-Prieur, representing the 6th generation, has managed this 13-hectare estate with passion and respect for tradition. Under the guidance of his father Vincent Bitouzet, the estate abandoned the use of herbicides in 1994 to favor environmentally friendly practices, returning to plowing and using organic compost. Since 2013, the conversion to organic farming has been underway, with certification expected for the 2023 vintage.
The Volnay 1er Cru "Pitures" 2021 comes from a plot located south of the village of Volnay, near Pommard, close to the famous Clos des Ducs. This terroir is distinguished by a marked slope and a unique soil composition, alternating between hard limestone and marl. This wine is the most robust of the Volnay wines from the estate, with a typicity close to Pommard, combining opulence and finesse.
This wine stands out for its intense red color and its slightly woody nose, with aromas of candied red fruits and violet. On the palate, it reveals a powerful and rich structure, with well-present tannins that soften over time, offering a beautiful length. It is a complex and well-balanced wine, ideal for aging over several years.
The Volnay 1er Cru "Pitures" 2021 pairs perfectly with roasted meats, such as lamb chops or shoulders, as well as with game dishes like hare with cherries. It also pairs very well with aged cheeses, highlighting their richness and character.
