Magnum Volnay Red 2022 | Wine from Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur

The Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur is the result of the merger of two winemaking families: the Bitouzet, from Volnay, and the Prieur from Meursault for white wines. For six generations, this family estate has preserved the winemaking tradition over an area of 13 hectares. François Bitouzet-Prieur, who joined in 2005, took over from his father, Vincent, and has been managing the estate since 2012. Ecological commitment has been strengthened under his leadership, with the adoption of organic farming since 2013 and certification expected for the 2023 vintage. This respectful approach to the terroir allows the full richness of the region's soils to be revealed.

The Magnum Volnay Red 2022 is an emblematic cuvée of the estate, made from Pinot Noir from three plots located at the foot of the Volnay hills, at about 300 meters altitude. The soils are mainly composed of brown and clayey earth on a hard limestone base, offering a perfect structure for this grape variety. The grapes are harvested by hand and aged in French oak barrels for 12 to 16 months, allowing the wine to develop its full complexity and elegance.

• Appearance: Intense red
• Nose: Aromas of red fruits such as cherry stone and strawberry, with floral nuances of violet and peony.
