Volnay 1er Cru Red "Les Aussy" 2022 | Wine from Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur

The Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur is the result of a family alliance: the Bitouzet family, originally from Volnay, and the Prieur family from Meursault, specialized in white wines. François Bitouzet-Prieur, the sixth generation of winemakers, joined the estate in 2005 and has been managing it since 2012. This family estate of 13 hectares is cultivated with extreme care, respecting the principles of organic farming. Since the 1994-1995 vintage, no herbicide has been used, promoting a living soil and rich biodiversity.

The Volnay 1er Cru Red "Les Aussy" 2022 is made from Pinot Noir grown organically. The grapes are hand-harvested and meticulously sorted to retain only those with optimal ripeness. The harvest is destemmed and placed in vats by gravity to preserve the integrity of the berries, followed by a cold maceration to extract the aromas. The alcoholic fermentation occurs naturally thanks to indigenous yeasts. After devatting, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 to 16 months, thus developing its aromatic and structural characteristics.

The Volnay 1er Cru "Les Aussy" 2022 stands out with an intense red color with elegant reflections. Its nose reveals aromas of candied red fruits and a subtle touch of violet, accompanied by a light woody note. On the palate, it is supple, fleshy, with great finesse and refinement, a typical signature of the wines from this terroir.

This wine pairs perfectly with roasted meats such as venison fillet, wild boar stew, or even Alsatian goose. It also goes very well with mild cheeses, revealing all its complexity and elegance on the palate.
