Domaine Bitouzet-Prieur Description
Bitouzet works a 0.71-hectare parcel of vines in the lieu-dit Les Herbeaux in northern Meursault, adjacent to premier cru Les Malpoiriers, and planted in the early 1950s (with a portion replanted in 2010). Aged 12 months on its fine lees in 228-liter barrels, a maximum of 15% of which are new, the domaine’s Bourgogne Blanc presents as a Meursault in miniature, with sneaky power, pronounced salinity, and a tightly coiled structure that rewards a few years of cellaring.
Vinous: 85-87 Points
The 2022 Bourgogne Chardonnay has a light bouquet with cooking apple and touches of Earl Grey (not often I find this on a regional white.) The palate is fresh on the entry with fine acidity, quite citric on the finish if missing a little length.
